Intro & question: suffers from bad back

[Guest guest]

I do not know the extent of your mother's wound. If it is not healing or

getting worse, then I would suggest Home Health. This requires a

physician's order. If she has Medicare, costs will be covered.

Wounds can go down to the muscles, possibly requiring surgery and/or a

lengthy healing time sometime years.

Do you know the reason for not wanting to get better?

Yes, if you don't mind something that was made for horses... I use this

myself and find it is quite miraculous.

 

Do a search on line for The Natural Pet Vet... (think it's

www.naturalpetvet.com). He has something called Marigold pocket healer...

made from marigold (calendula) flowers.

 

It's amazing. I've used it on all kinds of things for myself (and for my

horse) and it's worked miracles every time.

Michele - I saw in your post to my reply to you that your mother does

not have Medicare and Home Health is not an option for you. Please

check your local paper - there are a lot of qualified home health

care givers that work for themselves and do not charge the fees a

Home Health Care Company does. As with anyone else coming into your

home - check out their credentials. Also - you mentioned the

possibility of shingles. Shingles generally appear on the back and

look very similar to diaper rash. From your comments, I do not

believe this is what your mother has either. Let us know what you

find out from her Doctor when you see him this week. Helen
