Recently my feet have been turning so that when I stand to transfer instead of being flat on the floor I am standing on the outside of my feet. It makes it impossible to assist much in the actual transfer. The tween swollen purple feet which I have had for several months now this is a new loss.
My caregiver is becoming frustrated and asked me the last time he transferred me and I fell because I couldn't move my feet, -- why do you do that, meaning why do I roll my feet? My reply in a loud firm voice was -- because I have ALS! LOL. Now that I have had time to think about it I wondered if anyone else has their feet roll to the outside when they lose their ability to stand or shuffle to help move themselves. Maybe I am too quick to blame the demon of the disease.
At the time I didn't think it was an iiinppropriate but now that I think about it maybe I was too quick in my answer. I didn't think it was funny until later.
