My husband went to see his podiatrist today for his usual checkup, nails, toes, etc. He comes home, he's laying on the couch and I say "how are your feet?" and he says;

"I'm a Leprechaun"

I said "you're a WHAT??"

He says: "you heard me, I'm a Leprechaun".

I said: "Why are you a Leprechaun?"

He says: "Because I have green toes".

I said "WHAT???" and I pull off his socks and sure enough he has green nails on his toes.

I said "why on earth do you have green toes?"

He said "The doctor said it's all the stuff I put on my toes to stop the neuropathy".

So now my husband is a Leprechaun.

Good Lord!!

lol lol lol
P.S. He still has a slight foot ulcer but it's healing.
But he's green!!!!

Be careful with that, please. That is a very high amount of methyl salicylate, which may be overabsorbed in some people.
Only use it on small areas. Don't get it near the eyes either.
It has ALOT of menthol in it!

I'll be interested to know how it works, however.

Default Report on "Great Stuff"

Last night I was fumbling around trying to get the tube of "Great Stuff" out of the packaging when my husband came into the bedroom and said he'd do it. (He also had trouble but did achieve the goal.) The fumes from the "stuff" nearly knocked us over. My first clue should have been the fact that iHerb had put the whole thing in a plastic bag.

He said he'd try it on his shoulder--he usually rubs ActivOn on his shoulder when he goes to bed. I didn't want to use it cuz of the odor, and we both had a hard time going to sleep until it dissipated a bit. It was also runny, and he decided to go back to ActivOn; however, he felt no pain, (but he doesn't with ActivOn either). Joan
