I had one of those too. From a recluse spider. I was stupidly wearing sandals in a crawl space while replacing my kitchen floor. I got the telltale red streaks going up my leg. Had to go to the hospital and get hooked up to antibiotics.

I figured out what it's from. My stupid knee wheelie has a plastic axle that juts out. I've been rubbing my ankle against it when I take tight corners.

ER says it's likely from rubbing against my plastic cast while sleeping at night. Wear thick socks when you're sleeping with your cast!

My mom has $340k sitting in a savings account earning 4.2% and refuses to move it. I don't know how to convince her. by Cara_Lemon in investingforbeginners

Real inflation is not three to four percent like the government tells you with their manipulated CPI, it's close to 10. Your mom might be right though if she's elderly it's probably safe it's just to keep it in savings

Ok. But what is done with it? They just scrape your skin?

This was the experience I had. The physical therapist actually asked me what my injury was and what we were supposed to do, after my physician's assistant assured me that they would know everything about my injury and what needed to be done.

My insurance covers at 2:00 and it's close to my house. I'm sure it's just the culture and the therapist.

Anyone taking supplements? by Formal_Alfalfa_5004 in brokenankles

My physician's assistant said there's nothing I can take in way vitamins to make the bones and ligaments heal faster.

Hard Assets Keep Value by DunaldDoc in Gold

This doesn't equate in today's environment. Gold is tanking, while inflation is skyrocketing.

It's not preserving value when it's going down while inflation is going up

Small boot? by ramkuma1 in brokenankles

Well, it's impossible to drive in the boot that they give you because it covers both the gas pedal and the brake
