RE: [TMIC] More moneyThanks guys.

The insurance/prescription places seem to charge waay more than the places i have found online like Allegro and Best Buy Medical--- and even Colonial when they have sales as well as Overstock.com and Amazon .com for a number of hygiene and car items They are the only things kinds of sock/stockings i wear Akua Hi Diane - you might want to try Dr. Leonard's (drleonards.com) that's where I get mine for about 9 dollars per pair. I have to wear them for ankle swelling - they work, but are very hard to get on off.

The dr wrote me a prescription for them because the pressure sores on my ankles won't heal because my feet are always swollen. Apparently, the water prevents blood from properly circulating to those areas healing is greatly slowed down. I just can't believe the amount of money I have to spend that is not covered by the Province or by our private insurane - cushions, memory foam for the bed, bandages, incontinence pads (just in case) and on and so on. They do cover my catheters - whoopie ! Diane in Canada --
