Penny nail I was on a lot of pain meds at one time. Including fentanyl patches. I don’t recall the doses but they helped the pain without other side effects. I was able to move and do stuff. Of course everyone is different. I was able to make use of a heated swimming pool for physical therapy. The buoyancy of the water was very helpful.

I’m sorry your aunts are making your life difficult at this time. How rude.

Food is one of life enjoyments, good for you for making good food. Yeah, none of the aids I hade could cook either. Can you maybe hire a chief?

Take care.
