  5. Photos of Wounds on PDA's

    Greetings! and all is well, but very, very busy- (which is a good thing and would be an even better thing if I were 20 years younger!) I have a foot care client who is a Veteran. He has IDDM and can be considered brittle. When my services were requ...

  12. You call these DIRECTIONS??

    Rusty...some years ago I took a trip to Poland. They gave directions just like the ones you quoted. (Not slamming Polish people.... but jeez! Did I ever get lost. So, I figured that if I followed the setting sun westward I'd eventually get back to...
