Dont think it would be kind of me to inflict my plates of meat on a poor chiropodist, possible grounds for cruelty.

Well, I have to admit, two things that irke me are the fact that my eyesight is no longer as good as it used to be. It was just reading glasses for years but now its varifoculs for the paper, tv and computer. The second is getting out of the bath is not as easy as it once was. I am not overweight in any way but I find now that when I want to get out of the bath it's much harder to do now I am not so supple as I once was boo hoo. and then I have to sit on the edge of the bath to get my breath back and also congratulate myself that I did it without falling back in and knocking myself unconscious.

Your post had me laughing here Robert!

I hope you managed to cut your toenails with no mishaps

Love talking about feet. Those clippers dont look as scary as what I have to use on my toe nails. Dog clippers as they are the only thing that can cut through the strength of my nails which have become - with age -
like Rhinocersos horn
I am left handed and find I cannot cut my left small toe nail as I cannot
seem to bend correctly without feeling my dinner coming up. My big
toe nails are so hard I feel I could kill someone with them if I kicked
out. They do look nice with nail poliish on though
I think a helping hand could cure your problem Robert. I get one of
my sons to cut mine and being a big strapping lad even he finds it
hard to cut the big toe nails
Sounds like a freak lol.

Toe nail cutting can be dodgy at the best of times Robert so be extra careful, I use a clippers very similar to this one, the points are especially useful for the sharp side corners of the nails, as you know if these are left sharp they will grow into the flesh that sometimes overlaps the nail, then you're in trouble, a pair of clippers with good steel is a sound investment and should last a lifetime, the cheaper ones are a waste of money, It's one job you have to give your full attention to, all I'm really saying is be careful old chap.
On the lighter side I have to say that I have been blessed with wonderful feet, a joy to behold, when I'm in the process of clipping the wife drops whatever she's doing and rushes to gaze in awe at "The feet of Adonis", as she once referred to them, she always ignores the "Head of Goliath" when she's looking at the feet, yes I could fill chapters about my feet, a chiropodist's paradise, never a carbuncle, welt, wart, blister, or boil have desecrated my feet.

My old Italian friend Tony, was a Chiropodist in Rome, his business wasn't doing well and he couldn't take it, he had a breakdown was in an awful state. His wife emailed me and said "Tony is not too bad now, the doctor says that once he accepts defeet he will be back in business again."
Sorry, couldn't resist it.
