Well What Do We Have Here?

Oncology has told me to watch out for accidents with my hands and feet from the neuropathy.  I was ironing the other morning and never even knew I had burned myself until I was washing my hands and noticed a large welt.  It certainly surprised me.  I (and Bill) have kept a very close eye on things in general regarding my neuropathy.  I have essentially felt the side effects with my walking, some balance issues, and the pins and needles.  Oh the pins and needles.  They can seem endless some days.  And as I have written the cold makes me feel like a stooped over old woman.  I have some tricks left in my little cabinet and have put my leftover Calendula Gel into action.  I started applying twice a day for the burn.  On the mend for the hand!

 I'm super tired as the last two days have been most stressful.  My mom still had uncontrolled pain and we were able to connect with the Dover Hospice group who are more connected to the Dover facilities.  The Hyder Family Hospice House had a bed available yesterday and they were able to arrange her transfer last night.  She was in terrible pain and the team went to work to get her cocktail just right.  She needed to have a morphine pump inserted into her back.  She was resting much more comfortably tonight, but not able to communicate.  My sister told her she had been snoring as loud as my dad and she smiled ever so slightly.  We pray for mercy and a speedy passing.  Thank you all again for all the support.
