Title: All Is well - if hectic
Post by Tiannia on Mar 6^th, 2008, 4:51pm

Just wanted to let you all know what was going on.

Shaun is still working, 10-12 hours a day and 6 hours on Saturday. He likes it. The biggest issue is that being in the shop on his feet all day his feet are killing him and starting to swell. The husband of one of the gals I work with fits Shoes and custom insoles for diabetics, so we are working with the doc so that he can get work boots that are fitted for him.

I seem to get off work, get the kids, dinner homework and it is suddenly 9:30 and sending the kids to bed. REady for a little breathing room, but it is good to have him working again.. He needed it.

Tell him to wear thinner socks, like real thin dress socks.

And if he standing in the same spot for long periods of time, tell him to stand on a couple layers of cardboard. Its not perfect, but it helps more than you realize. I know, because sometimes im at a drill press or lath for hours on end and my feet get to hurt'in big time.

Hope that helps! :-*

I am on hard tile floors for my 8 hour day and Angie is on concrete floors for hers and we both can't stress enough how important it is to have good shoes or boots.

I like Jonny's idea of the cardboard, that would help. :)

Cool, I will let him know. I know that yesterday he was at a saw all day and he was just dying. So if that will help, it should be able to pull together in the shop. :-*

Glad to see things are working out.

When I had to stand for long periods, I tried to find some way of slightly elevating one leg now and then. Just a block of wood or something works.

Gel insoles and gel heel cups. Every time I get a pair of shoes now, I add them. Makes a huge difference.

Glad to hear things are going well, Tia.

Best,

George
