Cover Up That Bunionectomy Cast

bunion-bunionetteWhat is a bunion?  Bunions are PAINFUL and can be a common problem people experience as a bony protuberance at the base of the big toe.  When you have a bunion, the big toe angles in toward the other toes, a condition commonly known as hallux valgus.  They are most common among women and often caused by unsuitable footwear.  Genetics can be a factor, too!

Considering having a Bunionectomy?  Having any elective surgery can be a difficult decision.  About.com Orthopedics offers some great info on deciding when to proceed with bunion surgery, what to look for, and issues to consider before making your final decision.

How to Display and Handle the American Flag

In honor of Veterans Day, we’d like to share a few of the guidelines the Federal Flag Code suggests to guide civilians on how to display and handle the American flag properly.

Here are just a few of those guidelines:

  • The flag should be displayed from sunrise to sunset, though it may be displayed 24 hours a day if properly illuminated during the hours of darkness
  • The flag should never touch anything beneath it
  • The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery
  • The flag should not be draped over the hood, top, sides, or back of a vehicle, train, or boat
  • The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress
  • The flag should never be used as a receptacle for receiving, holding, carrying, or delivering anything
