Old Toes
One thing I decided to do when I get old: hire someone to cut my toenails. I noticed a trend among elderly dead people: they have out of control toenails. I guess they no longer can bend down to trim them. After seeing them each day, I decided that, should I live long enough that I can no longer cut my toenails, I will have to hire a clipper.
Hey….I just want to say…I work in a busy spa, performing many pedicures a day and I agree with you!!! So many elderly people have such bad bad feet! I like to start them young getting pedi’s so they can learn about proper foot care. I find your writings so very interesting…I did research back in high school on embalmers and found it so very interesting yet didn’t think that I would be able to stomache the career so did not go that route!!
I too worked in a funeral home and had experiences similar to yours. I went on to become a medic and then a registered nurse. Your blog is fascinating. FYI: besides nail spas, people with severe foot problems, to include ingrown toenails can get nail trimming services from a Podiatrist.
