Alan has never kicked a thing in his life. Thank god he's a mellow fellow!!!

He's doing nicely and the foot ulcer is healing very nicely.

The shoe guy called us up this morning just to check up on Alan. Alan was still sleeping. I explained how I had to pad the front because of his psoriasis lesions. We see this guy in about 10 days. He said to bring in his other shoes just in case they can't adjust the CROW boot in the office and they need to take it back with them.

So he'll walk in with the CROW boot, but he might have to walk out with his new custom molded shoes. Shouldn't be too much of a problem because his feet never touch the floor. He goes from the boot to the bed and from the bed to the boot.

So it is completely oft loaded.

Take care,
melody

Ya know, we all take our feet so for granted until something goes wrong, be it PN or any number of disorders and problems. Heck, this applies to just about any body part you can think of. I try to be grateful for the things I *do* have.

I'm glad to hear the ulcer is healing. I hope it goes all the way this time and that in a bit this will be a thing of the past. :hug:

It's a wonder any of us are sane or not grouchy and sniping all the time, what with all we have to put up with. Alan sounds like a really nice guy from the video and two thumbs up for that! And for you too! You take such good care of him! He's very blessed to have you. :)

I'm babbling a bit tonight. Sorry about that. Been a long couple of weeks and tonight is the first time in that long that I've felt almost normal.

Strangers always ask me when they see my boot "what'd you do, kick your husband?"

Nope, my ex :D
