Hi all..well today was new shoe day..Medicare will pay for one pair of shoes a year if you are diabetic...they are far pricer than anything I could afford..they also make inserts to fit your feet with build ups etc....it takes a good hour..so now I have my fancy walkers and Im ready for good weather..lol lol..it did get in the 40o today and the sun was out.


Time to get something on the table...


Hugs to all..

That's wonderful that medicare will pick up the price of the shoes. I know they are very costly. Hope they do the trick for you. Shoes are one thing one should get the best they can. Feet hurt and you hurt all over! martha

I didn't know that Medicare would help to pay for shoes for diabetic people.
