Hi @outlander. Yep, I'm lurking around keeping an eye on how you're going. 🙂
Glad to hear there's been a bit of improvement, and hope it continues.

Re: Carers under 30...

Re: Carers under 30...

@outlander, my parents get a podiatrist regularly checking and clipping their nails in the aged care home. Reason being, as you get older, blood circulation to the feet is often poor for one reason or another, and anywhere that has poor circulation is more prone to infections. A bit of preventative care in keeping the feet and toenails healthy (don't want ingrown toenails for example) can help avoid serious infections.
