physical pain

Question:

diane, et al.. Am sorry that you are in so much p*in.  we have experienced similar. does a heating pad perhaps help?  We have a rice pillow – it’s a pillow stuffed with 3-5lbs. of rice that you can then throw in the microwave and heat for 2-3 min and it’s all toasty warm and has this homey smell to it too.  Since it’s filled with rice it conforms to shapes nicely and helps us. *gentle hugs* if ok.  We hope you’re feeling much much better soon.

we were using our mom’s, and gave it back to her just last week.  :-(   We have a rice pillow – it’s a pillow stuffed with 3-5lbs. of rice that you can then throw in the microwave and heat for 2-3 min and it’s all toasty warm and has this homey smell to it too.  Since it’s filled with rice it conforms to shapes nicely and helps us.

this sounds very nice.  we are going out tomorrow, and think maybe we’ll get a heating pad, and something similar to this.   actually, the outside pain feels like it needs ice…it’s a very strange feeling pain to us. *gentle hugs* if ok.  We hope you’re feeling much much better soon.

thanks.  needing hugs tonight. us "If you feel bad, blow bubble stuff or watch the snails after it rains.  That always makes me feel better."                                     – Katy, of Ravensong
