I’m on Medicare and have a top of the line supplement policy. Had foot surgery in February last year. Woke up, got home and realized they had put a 2 inch plastic, slippery shoe on me. Have a bad back and it threw my gait off and I was hurting bad. We have tile floors and I slipped numerous times and almost fell. Was hanging onto the walls to keep from falling. I called my podiatrists office and said....why? Why would you put something like that on an older (I’m not that old lol) person? They’re dangerous. They could fall and break a hip. The answer....it’s what Medicare pays for. I sent hubby down to the office with $10 to buy a shoe I could walk in.
