It Really Bothered Me

Was it cellulitis? I hope your doctor helped you with your medical problem.

That would be very worrying. Some people do put off seeking help for way too long.

That really shows how compassionate and empathetic you are—you carried her burden in your own heart, even losing sleep over her condition. It’s natural to worry, especially when we hear of someone else’s suffering and start comparing it to our own experiences. Sometimes, though, medical issues can progress silently, and by the time symptoms are severe, surgery may be the only option left. It’s good that you went to the doctor for your own swelling—that was a wise step. Taking care of yourself is just as important as caring for others. Hopefully, your grass cutter’s wife finds relief after her surgery, and you can also find peace of mind knowing you’re monitoring your own health early on. Sometimes, concern for others becomes the nudge we need to care for ourselves, too.

Hopefully, your doctor told you something that eased your mind. My dad’s doctor mentioned compression socks to him, but everybody’s situation is different.

Your worrying does show your concern for others

That was very kind of you to worry about her it shows how empathetic you are.

That is one thing that I thankfully have NOT suffered from. They check my ankles every time I go to the doctor, too.

I am so sorry for the wife of the man who cuts your grass. All options before deciding for surgery are better. I hope your doctor can help you.

Best of luck to her, I hope you're foot will improve,

I hope the surgery helped her. There are a variety of conditions that could cause something like that.

I hope your doctor was able to help you.
