Three Friends

"People frequently incurring Avulsion Fractures are athletes and performers such as football players, ballet dancers, gymnasts and skiers. Their activities can involve a lot of sudden changes in direction, leaping and kicking."     
Hahaha just thought I might lighten up your painful feelings Darien ! You are obviously young, fit and full of activity to incur this affliction !!!!!!!!!!!! ((((((((((((((((((((Darien)))))))))))))))))))))))

I actually have a feeling that I did this with my elbow once when in Perth !!!!!

So I tried to do my feet this evening after my shower and there was no way I could just hold onto the vanity ( wash basin ) and massage cream into my feet on the floor ... I could not bend that far down even IF I held them up in the air for a short time !!! NO chance !   I also tried to sit down and cream my feet ... NO way can I bent that far to reach my feet either ! The only way I can do it is to put my feet up on the toilet lid and bend over ... half way to cream my feet ! Top and Bottom and in between my toes !

I hope so too!!!!

Surely if you sit down on a chair you can bring your feet up enough to cream then Moira? Although, doing it with one foot on the loo is easier.

My Dr said normally it shouldn't have happened, but because my bones are so weak, it was easily done. It makes sense to me and why the pain suddenly hit me. I don't remember moving awkwardly, but then I wouldn't have paid any notice except the excruciating pain that occurred. It is sore this morning, I did too much yesterday

YOU CAN SEE ME Linda  !!!!!!!!!!!    I tried it this evening after my shower and NO way can I manage to cream my whole foot with one hand with my foot in the air and one hand holding on to the sink  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I can however bend down with my foot on the floor and smear cream around but not UNDER my foot.  SO my back is not too bad .. I can bend BUT it is far easier with one foot up on the loo  !!!!!  I can do it all !!!!!! Do you actually have a toilet in your bathroom Linda or is it in a separate room ?

As for sitting on a chair and holding my foot out and creaming it .......... never tried it ............... but probably NOT !  Using the loo is far easier !!!!!!!!!!!!! That is also how I manage to cut my toe nails... BUT tonight I almost took off the top of my second toe.. as I lost my balance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have a plaster on it to stop the bleeding !!!!!!!!!!!!

I cut myself cutting my toenails a few months back too Moira!!!!

"They" must think you need a mask in the supermarket because you are around food?  Seems crazy to me but I guess you have to do what you have to do.  Will it be the same in Waverley?
I don't have my foot very high in the air when I do the "creaming". 
I just went into the bathroom and posed in my "creaming pose".  I don't lean on the counter, I just put one hand on it, lift my foot and cream, then turn in the other direction, lift the other foot and cream that one.  Why don't I just sit on the toilet and do it since you asked about a toilet in the bathroom?  Never thought of it because what I do works for me.
Did you actually try doing it Moira?

The only place I can think of here where I have to wear a mask is at a medical facility.  I can't think of any store that requires a mask or the mall.  We went to a funeral visitation last night and there were quite a lot of people there and only two people were wearing a mask.

I see you are allowed to MOVE, that's really good since that's what you will be doing!  Lots of rules and regulations there I see!
Waterloo has a city bus line but I haven't used it in YEARS.  The first year we were married we only had one car and Larry went to work early so he couldn't take me, so I took the city bus.  Larry  picked me up after work but I did take the bus to work.  It was way too far for me to walk even though I was young then.  That would have been a very long walk during a blizzard in the winter.
I'm fine doing my feet the way I do it so I won't change but you do whatever works for you Moira!!
