She wants to be a foot nurse

I’ve seen ads for phone apps that track car travel for business. In LA that could be lots of miles.

We’re not in L.A. :wink:

Good on Mrs. LA!

I’ll third or fourth what everybody else has said; get a CPA type to set up her Quickbooks accounts and explain it all to her. I wish I had done that when I started my business.

She’ll do great.

Mrs. L.A. had her first patient yesterday. The patient and his caregivers were very pleased.

Before her visit, Mrs. L.A. went to her old employer and gave a 10-minute presentation on foot care, and left some flyers. She was well received.

I bet her old boss feels like a heel for letting her get away.

I’ll risk being arch and say that she’s figured out a new ankle for her profession.

Her old boss got the boot before she left, and her immediate boss walked before she left.

I’ll toe in here and say it sounds like she’s nailed the perfect opportunity!

(pause for collective groan)

Neuropathy is a coomon complication of Diabetes. Many Diabetics lose the sensation of irritation in their feet, and an injury anywhere on the foot can miss detection. I personally have known people who have gotten life-threatening infections from seemingly minor injuries. One man almost lost his leg, and fortunately ended up losing a few toes, instead.

I’m surprised Medicare does not cover this. Perhaps it’s a matter of degree. If you’ve had past problems with infection, Medicare might consider preventative foot care as cost effective.

I ought to look that up.
