Granny's gone and done it again

If it isn’t too much to ask, could everyone keep my aunt in your thoughts are prayers. She has stage 4 cancer, diagnosed in July. The cancer started in her stomach and is now basically all over her body. She tried chemotherapy, but it didn’t touch it. In fact, it spread more. She is having a second round of a more aggressive chemo/radiation treatment. She is hurting all over, and her shoulders hurt so bad that she is doubled over and isn’t able to get out of bed. She has tried everything she knows to try, but the pain will not stop. Her current condition is terminal. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.

there is a point when a morphine drip is about the only way to go. At least for my mother way back in '92. We did this after I may have dragged a nurse down the hallway by her arm and demanded she do something, ANY thing to give her relief. Poor nurse had brusies a couple hours latter.
 
Beans...ham and beans with cornbread on the side....:drool I love ham but we are both sodium sensitive so it's walk past hams in the grocery store and whimper.

Granny did the wraps with the hot towels soaked in epsom salt water help any?

I think you are going to have to get creative with the soaks. Do you have a roasting pan big enough for one foot at a time?

I understand what you mean about foot/ankle pain. The best way I could describe it to my doctor over the phone was look at a picture of the crucifixion. They drive the nails into Christ's feet just above the tarsal joints and between the ankle. There is a depression there. That is where my ankles/feet hurt. Every step is agony.

He told me that they are pushing now that knee pain originates from the feet. I can believe that. He recommended reflexology for my feet. I said I'd try anything....after covid was a thing of the past.
 
My cat does that too!

my dogs to that , and Yuri almost always sleeps on his back legs either leaning against the back of the dog couch or spread wide out to "air his junk"
 
Morning everyone!

Woke up the the pleasant surprise of having a month's Premium Feather Membership attached to my account. Thank you so much @CluckNDoodle for the surprise and the gift.

I wasn't around yesterday. Woke up exhausted and stayed that way all day. I finally gave up about 11 and just spent the day lying on the sofa in our TV room sleeping and watched B movies on Prime.

I slept 10 hours last night on top of the naps all day yesterday and woke up feeling refreshed but joints aching. The weather is supposed to change so I'm not surprised.

@grannyhatchet, I woke up this morning wondering how your feet are feeling? Better I hope. I'm having shoulder and neck pain but the weather is supposed to be changing for the worse so that may be a factor.

:mad: built in barometers.
Hope you feel better soon!
