Can you do both the same time?
Will you be able to walk immediately?
Or how long before you'll be able to walk?

You can do both at once but you will not be able to walk immediately. I don't remember how long you are off your feet but then once on your feet you have to wear the special boot and it is several weeks before you can even put a shoe back on your foot.

6-8 weeks is the healing time, and most of that time is non-weight bearing. This means no weight on the operated foot for that long. You can get both done at the same time, but that will mean you will be in a wheelchair to get around as opposed to just getting one at a time when you can use cruthes to get around.

Yes, you can have both done at the same time but it isn't recommended(although i had mine done at the same time)
You can walk with the assistance of crutches, and your nice little walking shoes(very fashionable!)
Walking as tolerated, depends on if they pin your toe or not...and more or less how you feel
