👟 Switch to trail shoes or boots with leather or Gore-Tex™ uppers to protect from the cold and wet. Ensure the sole has good grip, but sufficient flexibility to feel the ground, and allow a natural heel-to-toe walking motion. Add thermal insoles to further block out the cold.

🧦 Invest in thermal or wool Socks to retain heat, or alternatively, double up with a thin moisture-wicking inner layer and a thicker insulating outer sock. However, ensure your shoes have enough room so your toes aren’t squashed, which can reduce circulation.

🌧 Keep Feet Dry - Change damp socks as soon as possible, wet feet lose heat quickly. For outdoor activities, choose moisture-wicking materials to manage sweat and external moisture.

👞 Rotate footwear allowing it to dry out fully, this will help prevent fungal infections which thrive in damp environments

🧴 Combine moisturising with a daily massage. In addition to hydrating the skin to prevent cracking, this will also stimulate circulation to promote warmth, ease muscle tension and mobilise stiff joints

👣 You only have one pair of feet
Keep them warm - Keep them dry - Keep them moving 😃

Food for thought……….

IF I GET DEMENTIA…..
I’d like my family to hang this wish list up on the wall where I live. I want them to remember these things.

1a. Every time you enter the room announce yourself. “Hi Mum, it’s Abbie”
NEVER ask- Do you know who I am??? That causes anxiety.

1. If I get dementia, I want my friends and family to embrace my reality.

2. If I think my spouse is still alive, or if I think we’re visiting my parents for dinner, let me believe those things. I’ll be much happier for it.

3. If I get dementia, don’t argue with me about what is true for me versus what is true for you.

4. If I get dementia, and I am not sure who you are, do not take it personally. My timeline is confusing to me.

5. If I get dementia, and can no longer use utensils, do not start feeding me. Instead, switch me to a finger-food diet, and see if I can still feed myself.

6. If I get dementia, and I am sad or anxious, hold my hand and listen. Do not tell me that my feelings are unfounded.

7. If I get dementia, I don’t want to be treated like a child. Talk to me like the adult that I am.

8. If I get dementia, I still want to enjoy the things that I’ve always enjoyed. Help me find a way to exercise, read, and visit with friends.

9. If I get dementia, ask me to tell you a story from my past.

10. If I get dementia, and I become agitated, take the time to figure out what is bothering me.

11. If I get dementia, treat me the way that you would want to be treated.

12. If I get dementia, make sure that there are plenty of snacks for me in the house. Even now if I don’t eat I get angry, and if I have dementia, I may have trouble explaining what I need.

13. If I get dementia, don’t talk about me as if I’m not in the room.

14. If I get dementia, don’t feel guilty if you cannot care for me 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It’s not your fault, and you’ve done your best. Find someone who can help you, or choose a great new place for me to live.

15. If I get dementia, and I live in a dementia care community, please visit me often.

16. If I get dementia, don’t act frustrated if I mix up names, events, or places. Take a deep breath. It’s not my fault.

17. If I get dementia, make sure I always have my favorite music playing within earshot.

18. If I get dementia, and I like to pick up items and carry them around, help me return those items to their original place.

19. If I get dementia, don’t exclude me from parties and family gatherings.

20. If I get dementia, know that I still like receiving hugs or handshakes.

21. If I get dementia, remember that I am still the person you know and love.”

ᴄᴏᴘʏ ᴀɴᴅ ᴘᴀsᴛᴇ in Honor of someone you know or knew who has dementia. In Honor of all those I know and love and lost who are fighting Dementia/Alzheimer’s.
