Heavyweight Socks Looking for long leg diabetic stockings in a heavy weight fabric for a woman with massive legs?
neighbor lady 86 yrs has huge legs that swell tremendously at times. I found a pair of long white diabetic socks with no name or size or number markings on them which fit her beautifully and now she would like to get 2 more pair and I have no idea where to start to look for more...our area pharmacies have never seen anything like them and have not been able to find a pair of support socks or diabetic socks large enough to fit her. They are a heavyweight white soft material.
Do you know whether or not she has lymphoma in her legs?Either way,go to this site www.Kingsize.com.It's for tall men,but they have a variety of clothing,down to socks(including diabetic socks) and men clothing is usually bigger than women's so with her legs being so big hopefully this will help her..God bless and good luck..
Extensive Camping Checklist For Your Next Camping Trip
This camping checklist is based on what my family packed when we travelled for 6 weeks - going from Victoria to Alice Springs, Tanami Track to the The Kimberley, around the Gibb River Road, across to Katherine and down Stuart Hwy to Victoria, about 10,000 kms with 2 adults 3 teenagers in a Nissan 4WD Patrol and roof rack bag. I have added a few extras that we did not take but are optional for other travellers, I have marked the large items we did not take with an asterisk*
Write your own list from these ideas to suit your family. Add anything else you require.
