First-Aid

Yoga teacher Mary Flemming, who worked in the ER for 15 years, pads Jane's sprained foot with layers of toilet paper, a yoga  eye wrap, and duct tape so that she can get around more easily

Early this week Jane fell at the apartment and hurt her foot.  She immediately did the usual "rest, ice,  compression, and elevation" but was not able to put any weight on it at all.  When she started looking around for where to get crutches, another friend remembered passing a place that said "Nurses Shack" that had crutches, walkers, etc.  We all went in a rickshaw to find the place, and it turned out to be nothing bigger than a booth at a festival.  But it did have the required crutches. 

The next day she saw a doctor and got her foot x-rayed (Total cost:  $12).  Fortunately nothing was broken.
