There has to be a medical products store in a town the size of Davenport.

The pharmacy at the Hospital probably also carries them.

Thanks Ravenous.... i didn't think about hospital pharmacy!!! (brain isn't back in full force yet)

i was thinking along the lines of Walgreens, CVS, Wal-Mart......UGH

CVS's website shows that they carry them. Theirs are manufactured by Futuro, the same company that makes knee braces and such.

You might also try contacting an independent pharmacy (if any are still in business) in your area. Many of them have branched out into medical supply items to try to compete with the big boys whose drug prices reflect their buying power.

Thanks Nurse.... got some "similar"at CVS ... does it matter that they send you home with open toed, and you get closed toed? (which i like MUCH better) ..... would be even better yet not to have to keep them on at all....LOL

Be as comfortable as you can in them. Wearing them as directed is the most important thing. The only reason for the open toes is to allow for circulation checks, a must in the hospital, not that important once you're home.

I hope everything is okay and wish you a speedy recovery!
