Heated Blanket
This Autumn is really doing a number on my left foot/leg. I seem to be hurting much worse this year. Winter is usually my worst season for my CRPS. I'm afraid it is going to be worse in the Winter. My foot especially gets so ice cold. I don't know if it is just me or my CRPS is getting worse.I went out and got me a heated blanket to help keep my CRPS left foot/leg warm. It is also keeping my pain levels down a bit. My pain levels are usually 10+. I would say the pain levels are around an 8 with the heated blanket on. I was using a heating pad, but it was so hard for me to keep my foot warm. I kept having to re-adjust the heating pad.

Hoveround Power Chair
It has become very painful and difficult walking on my left foot. I have been looking into getting a power chair (wheelchair) for a couple months now. I called both Hoveround and The Scooter Store about their power chairs. They both sent me brochures about their chairs. However, Hoveround was the only one that would come out to my house with a power chair for me to try before my doctor wrote the prescription for the power chair. The Hoveround power chair is comfy and a round chair which means it will fit through door ways more smoothly than other chairs. Now, The Scooter Store would not come out to my house with their power chair until they received my doctor's orders and my insu
