Back Massage Treatments
March 24th, 2008Today, he hasn’t been eating much. For breakfast he actually took a couple of sips of watermelon juice, and drank his medication (morphine, reglan and senna) with warm milk.
By mid-morning he took another morphine (fast acting), ate a few pieces of banana and then slept for the rest of the morning.
I gave him another reglan for lunch and he drank more warm milk, a few bananas and didn’t touch his mango.
He complained about lower back pain and soreness. And I rub some extra-strength BenGay and massaged it in. He really like this a lot because it eased the pain and soreness.
By lunch time my sister-in-law came to help. He took another fast acting morphine with warm milk. Maybe ate 1 or 2 banana slices. Then I gave him another lower back massage, rubbing in the BenGay. This helped out a lot.
There’ll be a nurse come by to visit at 1:30pm to check on him. And then we’ll help him take a shower and get cleaned up.
