Foot Injury

[Guest guest]

I can't believe I did it again!!! I smashed my foot in the doorway.

I've outgrown this scooter and am in the process of getting a heavy-

duty one with a longer platform.

In my normal sitting position now, half of my feet stick out the

front leaving them out there to get smashed between the doorframes,

etc.

I know this and can't believe I did it again!!! Oh, man, my feet

have had so many fractures and are arthritic (stiff) I just know I

cracked some bones again!! Oh, man, the pain.

My husband rubbed some BioFreeze on my toes and foot, hope I can

stand on it to transfer. Haven't tried yet. I did have on my

shoe. I've learned over the years to put my shoes on before getting

out of bed to protect. Shoes should have a steel base and toe

(joking of course) and not rubber as in a cheap sneaker from Wal

Mart that I wear.

Just this morning I was looking at my left foot, leg and ankle

thinking how great it was not to have bruising and swelling for some

time now. Guess, it was time for another injury.

All anyone can say is " be careful. " You'd think Bea Careful was my

name....ha! Donna B.
