This is so neat KB,, they make socks.. as if they are gloves..( yes.. I have a pair..they are rainbow in color.. LOL)
put them on.. and u can still wear sandals or tongs..
tonight before u go to bed.. take a warm bath.. then get pillows off the the sofa.. or get blankets put them at the foot of the bed.. slide down. and prop ur feet up.. ( it is better to do this, a hr before going to bed)
cause it it hard to sleep this way.. and lay cross wise across the bed.. perhaps watch tv if u have a tv in ur room.. for a hr..

Cold feet means poor circulation, but since you have to wear your flip flops you might want to take a pair of socks & cut the toe portion off so you can still do that. If you can put on long socks, up to the knee, like tube socks, w/ the toes cut off you might feel some improvement.
