well my moms ankles are swollen up (what can she do to help this?), she barely can stand and walks a little with assistance, she is still in good spirits, still pain, they put a patch on her called fentanol 100 micro (what ever that means) she still gets break through meds every 8 to 12 hours, we will find out tomorrow if she is coming home this week,she is eating liquids (thick ones) broths, cream of muchroom soups and bread. They still give her liquid antibiotics and my mom still has bowel movements. Any suggestions for us?
Thanks All

Wanda,
My mom was in palitive care. The nurses were really wonderful..so willing to help and answer questions. One of the things they did for my mom was to evaluated her pain meds and get her going on what really worked for her. They were so great at getting us set up on a pain med schedule. Also, they let us know that they were on call day or night. If they could not solve our problem over the phone, one of the nurses would then come out to the house. They also gave us ideas on what my mom might be able to eat, and they can get you any kind of equipment that you might need to make your mom more comfortable.(Like hospital bed, recliner, potty, those kinds of things) Good luck, and I am glad your mom will be home for the holidays.
God bless-
