Forgot about the lower extremities appointment. I thought maybe it was for my knees. But, no was a foot nurse, who cut my nails. & trimmed my corn. She gave me some pads for foot.
Which feel great. We had a big laugh about what I had named the foot Dr. that was there before. Herr DR. Josef Mengele. She laughed, said her name for him was dumb ass.I will need some suggestions about how to mark my foot for pads, as I can''t bend over to see to place. Was thinking about drawing my foot on something, but how to mark the corn, where to place the pad? Something to paint the corn, then place foot down, leave a mark, and then mark around?

hmm...can't you put your foot on your other knee? like bend your knee and twist it to put on the other leg. blah, don't know how to say it, hopefully you got the picture. anyways, i figure maybe you could see your foot that way.

by the way, sorry about your teeth and all that fasting and crap to drink.

Busterb, you can also try using an inexpensive 10"-11" diagonal handheld mirror. Place the pad, adhesive up, on the mirror then release the mirror flat onto the carpet from as low as you can reach. The pad will probable stay on the mirror; but, if not, a tiny dab of something like hand lotion between the mirror and the back of the pad should keep it there. View your foot in the mirror from an angle; so, you can bring it down into proper position on the pad. Have a string tied to the handle of the mirror's frame to retrieve it. Good luck with whatever method you use.

Rabbit gal. If I could get my foot in my lap, I would fly to TX. and take ya to a night of dining and dancing. You forget I'm almost 70 years old.

Sexobon. A good idea, but I really need to mark the spot of corn. The pads,she gave to me , she called horseshoe pads. They have a small opening for corn. I'm hoping I have, somewhere a thing to ink a stamp pad. If so, I'll get someone to mark the corn, then step on paper, or whatever. Then mark around my foot.

Hihi...sorry, Buster. My mom is almost 70, and she could do it. But then the physical therapist said she's flexible for her age. :p I hope you'll be able to figure somethIng out.

There's lots of people at that age who can still put their foot in their mouth.

So busterb, I take it you don't want to simply have someone stab the corn and make your mark in blood.

1) Eats lots of beans
2) sign up for a yoga class.
3) fart and groan a lot
4) apologise and explain you're only doing it because you're not flexible enough to place your own corn pads and have no-one to help you
5) leave with corn pad fixed and regular schedule of helpers lined up.

I got someone to put a spot of ink on corn, then, foot on plywood, drawed around my foot. Still a 1/2 assed deal. Next try is plaster of paris for a foot print.

Do you have one of those printer/scanners that makes a photocopy? If so, just put it on the floor, gently rest your foot on the glass, poke the copy button with a long stick, and make a photocopy of your foot. Should be easier to line your foot up with a photocopy of your foot than with a hand drawn outline of your foot.

You just need a young "sweet-thing" to take care of your feet. Hope you are doing better. I'll be at Camp Shelby this summer if I can get my health straight. Maybe we could meet up?
