Guest guest Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 I went in search of better slippers for my FIL and found these. With all of our swollen foot problems, this may interest others and the best part is they're only 12.99! I'm ordering them so I'll let you know what they think of them. Extra-wide non-binding slippers are designed to fit around swollen feet and ankles. Ideal for people with diabetes, poor circulation and other foot problems, they reduce painful pressure and have non-slip soles for safety. http://www.drleonards.com/detail.cfm?EDP=10072122 a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 Hey thanks for sending this along. My father suffers with diabetes and his feet are swollen. Actually we have noticed just recent that his feet are starting to turn black. I know that is not a good sign but I can only beg him so much to take care of himself. The rest is really up to him. I was supposed to buy him slippers for Christmas but the ones I picked up did not fit him. I think these will be perfect. Thank you again. [ ] Check out these slippers!

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 Bridget, I hope your Dad goes to the Dr soon. Two of my children were diabetics and my BIL has diabetes. My BIL lost part of his foot because of his diabetes. An area on his foot turned into gangrene.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 You're welcome. I just hope you can convince him to go to the doctor. Black feet doesn't sound good. Diabetic neuropathy is common in the feet and if not taken care of, it can lead to amputation. a On Jan 5, 2006, at 5:07 PM, Bridget Hiskins wrote: > Hey thanks for sending this along.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 a, these slippers look comfy but do they open up wide enough to get your foot in easily? As you know, my left ankle is fused. Thanks for the heads up on this site. Hugs June [ ] Check out these slippers! I went in search of better slippers for my FIL and found these.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Sadly my father is perfectly aware of this. We tell him all the time to go to the doctors. He makes the appointments he has to but nothing (so far as I know) is being done about what's happening to his feet. I am not even sure how to help him any more. Re: [ ] Check out these slippers!

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 I'm sorry he won't take care of himself. I know it's hard on you to watch this happen to your dad. a On Jan 7, 2006, at 12:46 PM, Bridget Hiskins wrote: > Sadly my father is perfectly aware of this.
