Joe

It was great. Preached sitting down. Felt like I was sleeping in the job.

They don't carry widths but they said the Classic Clog would be the roomiest and should be fine for an EEE foot. They don't carry half sizes either but they do carry the Classic in a 15. Price....34.99.

I will search online.

Wow! That would be great. I had my wife searching her phone after reading your first post. It would be great to get a pair of Crocs.

Carl - sorry to hear about your foot! Been there. Not fun. Take it easy as much as you can!
BTW, Marty wears Crocs in a size 17. I get them at the Croc Outlet store in Houston when I visit there. We also get them online. Not all styles come in that size, but when you have feet that size, you learn to be grateful for whatever you find!

Thank you. I will start my search. I have found some 13, but only in medium width. As bad as I want a pair I will don't mind researching it at all.

Get well soon.

I had thought about that.

You are very kind. I don't think I will need the knee walker unless they decide to do surgery. I don't think (praying hard though) that will be the case.

If you need anything, let me know.

Thank you my friend. I am still praying fervently for you and your wife.

No sir just a regular four legged walker. I spent six years in a wheelchair. When God allowed me to walk again I used a rollater. The ER doctor was afraid I would fall using the rollater. At least until I follow up in five days.

Prayers for a speedy recovery and that the blood keeps flowing strong!

Thank you very much. The blood is a serious issue so I found out tonight. I guess it didn't make much sense to me until tonight.

Feel better my friend!

Thank you sir. God blessed and I only a couple of small bones broke. They put a splint on it and gave me an Orthopedic doctor to see Friday. I got a brand new walker out of the deal.

I sure want to thank everyone for your prayers and well wishes. Those of you who are diabetic know how bad feet problems can take over and mess up everything. God has been so good to us that I can't even begin to tell of all the blessings.

Yes I have diabetic shoes and socks already because of the neuropathy. I have tried to find Crocs in the past, but my foot is 14 1/2 EEE. If you find some please let me know where.

My wife has the same opinion along with a very sweet, "grow up" on the end of that.

Uh-Oh,I hope I didnt offend you. I've tried reading it several times and not sure what your saying.

No way! You didn't offend me at all. We are still laughing how stupid this injury is. We just came home and she was moving that box and I forgot that not only did I have 1,000 rounds of .45, but I had 750 rounds of 9mm. She asked me, "now that the election worked out do we still need all of these." I told her it just meant more time at the range for me and more time at Sam Moon's.

Skippr the box of ammo arrived today by UPS. I was going to put them in 30 cal. ammo cans that is why I was moving them. The packing slip said 73.9lbs. If I would have just rolled the box over probably no big deal. Being 6'4'" and dropping it from waist high was like crushing my foot. I immediately put ice on it and took a pain pill to no avail. Being a diabetic with preexisting feet problems is why I obey my wife and came to the ER.

Just finished X-rays. I had a long night last night with the election so I guess one more night shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks for the prayers.

This is also fun related.

I dropped 1500 rounds of .45 on my right foot this afternoon from about waist high. I am now sitting at Baylor ER with a broke foot. Being a diabetic I came to the hospital hoping not to loose my foot.
