14 ULCERS-LEARN THE DIFFERENCE PAINFUL SMALL INFRA-MALLEOLAR HEAPED-UP EDGES SINGLE/MULTIPLE PRESSURE BEARING AREAS NEEDS BLOOD NOT PAINFUL LARGE SUPRA-MALLEOLAR FLAT EDGES SINGLE PERFORATOR AREAS MEDIAL PIGMENT DEPOSIT / CARDBOARD SKIN NEEDS DECONGESTION / COMPSRESSION
15 TOE ULCERS INFECTED ISCHEMIC NEUROPATHIC
16 TOE ULCERS WALKS BAREFOOT IN THE YARD-HEALTHY HOMELESS-NO SHOES- NO BATH PARKINSONS- LIKES TO SLEEP ON SIDE DM- GOOD SENSATION- TOOK GRANDKIDS TO DISNEY FOR 3 DAYS WITH GOOD SHOES
