Just bought my first pair of compression stockings and it was $ 95.
The dr wrote me a prescription for them because the pressure sores on my ankles 
won't heal because my feet are always swollen.  Apparently, the water prevents 
blood from properly circulating to those areas & healing is greatly slowed down.

I just can't believe the amount of money I have to spend that is not covered by 
the Province or by our private insurane - cushions, memory foam for the bed, 
bandages, incontinence pads (just in case) and on and so on.  They do cover my 
catheters - whoopie !
