Who's up for cocktails


The pain pump is working well. Mom is able to be more comfortable. It hurts like the dickens to talk, but the cream and sponge-on-a-stick help a bunch.

Every day Mom has to drink "Dr. Jeong's cocktail." It's his own special recipe of Benedryl for soothing, Maalox for GI track, Caraphate for coating the mouth/throat and viscous lidocaine to numb it. He has it made at the Cancer Center, and now his patients ask for it while they are in the hospital. It is a thick, pink liquid that tastes bad, but feels so good!  She can take it up to 4 times a day. Yummy!
