Guest guest Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 I have castor oil...so I can do that...don't have any epsom salts but might be able to convince her husband to go get some. The super tonic...well...I gave some to her dad...and they all just heave at the thought of taking it...lol...but will tell her to take it or have to go to the doctor! lol Thanks Suzi!

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 Yes, that was the first thing I looked for...I wanted to make sure it was not a spider bite...there were no red lines...just swollen red toes and front area of the foot. The back towards her heal is not swollen at all...just the front portion of the foot. This is what lead me to believe it was something that needed attention but nothing to be overly concerned over. She asked if I thought she should go to the emergency room and I told her that it didn't seem that way to me, being that I didn't see the red lines on the foot. I did give her some Rescue Remedy to try and calm her jitters a bit at least. Told her I would find out what else to do and make sure I got her taken care of. Thanks Suzi...I really appreciate it.
