We have a new local care/nursing home, Halden Heights in High Halden, just down the road from Tenterden where I live. It’s beautiful and an example to other care homes. Now open and accepting residents. Part refurbished from an existing building (Halden Hall) which used to house the insurance company, Bishops, and a large extension/part new build, giving a total of 59 beds. Soon to have flats for rent as well in a separate building. The owners have put lots of thought into the layout – I’m really impressed – there is a spacious feel to the home, hoists in each room over each bed which is brilliant for the residents and staff, excellent up/down/shake it all around beds, wet rooms (great for the residents – it’s only the staff who get a little wet!), and best of all good security with key pad number entry doors to each floor which is so important especially with Alzheimer’s patients. And then there is the 24 hour nursing, end of life care, lots of activities, community involvement, lovely gardens, peaceful surroundings, air conditioning, and smaller dining rooms/lounges on each floor to maintain a more intimate feel rather than a huge impersonal area … and much more. Anna Cunningham is the Matron at the home and what a delightful person, friendly and bustlingly professional, what a great combination, just the sort of person you want to run a home like this. I wish them all the best for the future and high occupancy rates! I’ve got a good feeling about this place!

Online podiatry help – advice needed "8 years ago, I stepped onto a rusty nail. I had treatment for the wound and the wound finally closed up. Some years later, the bottom of my foot would become purple. I then went to see the doctor again and the doctor took a syringe, tried to suck out whatever was in there, but failed and said there’s nothing. It was a lil painful. Then 4 years ago(2008) , pure pain started.. Unbearable pain.. My whole leg(up till the thigh region) would be painful.. I couldn’t walk.. But when you’d see the foot, nothing looked wrong.. Just a few veins.. I went to the doctor again and he said it’s nothing, then gave me some antibiotics and I was well again.. 3 years back(2009), a lump started to grow on the "TOP" of my foot.. This lump isn’t painful most of the time.. It appears and disappears.. The lump is directly above where the initial wound was.. Its pain intensity varies.. From numb, to normal skin feeling, to itchy, to painful, to excruciatingly painful.. It gets painful only if I party and dance all night.. I do bodybuilding and I used to play rugby.. The infected foot’s skin is a bit darker than the other one.. A bit numb too.. What’s this?" ANSWER I’m sorry but this type of question is far beyond the scope of an online answer. You should go back to your doctor for an investigation/x-ray/scan or whatever he considers is appropriate for your foot. 18 December 2011

This is something that is sure to provoke debate. Where do we draw the line exactly between independence and dependency? We think nothing of installing tracking systems in our cars so that if they are stolen they can be located electronically, what about applying this technology to our loved ones who are suffering dementia. More than half of people with Alzheimer’s – the most common form of dementia -will become lost at least once. Here is a solution to finding them: the GPS shoe from www.gpsshoe.com. Launching soon in the US and Canada. The idea is simple. Embed a tracking device in their footwear to track people suffering from dementia who wander away and get lost. Providing they keep their footwear on when they wander off or fail to return, it could be a life saver. Pre-sales figures are impressive.

My name is Sue Ferguson and I am a chiropodist and podiatrist working in private practice in Tenterden, Kent, in the south east of England.
I am registered with the Health Professions Council, the regulatory body for health professionals and I have been treating feet for over 20 years. For further information about my chiropody practice see my practice website where you will find lots of tips and information. From a professional point of view I find feet, foot conditions and shoes fascinating. I spent the first part of my life waiting for the Internet to be invented and now it's here I want to share my enthusiasm about feet with you all.
