"I understand that I need to inspect my feet daily. I will dry my feet thoroughly when I get out of the shower. It is important to apply lotion to my feet and especially my toes to keep my skin in good health. That will prevent any sores on my feet. I will be very careful when I cut my toenails and will be sure to cut them straight across and then file the edges with an emery board. I will wear closed toed shoes. I am glad I can still go barefoot in the house because I never wear shoes at home. If I have any foot sores or corns come up, I will see my doctor or go to a podiatrist instead of treating it myself."
