Pressure

Many of us experience pressure this time of year, finding the perfect gift, attending parties and dinners, socializing and traveling can add to the stress and pressures of the season.

Yesterday I was experiencing pressure of a different kind.  I was not feeling well all day, I would experience goosebumps and hot flashes periodically throughout the day.  Being a quadriplegic my body reacts differently to pain, it's difficult to know what's causing it.

Last night in bed I discovered the source, I was getting a pressure sore on the side of my right foot.  Here is how quickly a sore can develop.....

So this morning I need to call my doctor and obtain some ointment in order to keep this from getting worse.  I am also in my slippers instead of tennis shoes for the next few weeks.

So if you see me at the Penguin game tonight wearing bedroom slippers, rolling down the aisle in my old backup power wheelchair you will know the reason for my slippers......
