Re: Big swollen Legs

Jacquie- You should call her doctor and have them check her sodium level. They can give her medication to reduce the swelling. How is she laying? try elevating her legs with a pillow or 2, this might help a little.

Re: Big swollen Legs

my mother just passed away. it all happend so fast, but it was such a horribul thing that it needed to happen, The doctor said her liver was MASSIVE. there was nothing they could do but keep her confortable. she was freaking out, didn't understand anything, was a total mess. and they had to drug her to get her to relax, and sleep, as she was panicing evertime she would almsot fall asleep thinking she might not wake up. oh this is so pain full but it is only my mined all the time. right before she passed away her legs were not so bad and for a moment I thought she might get better but the doctor said that there was no fulid because she hasn't eaten or drinkin anything for 2 days.

I feel like my aunt killed her she was suposto be the night shift and every night she would wisper in her ear, to go that we would be ok and that we all loved her. but to leave (my aunt lost her husband to lung cancer) and I think she is a freak almost leaving my mother with no hope as my aunt had no hope. my aunt alwasy had no hope, the day my mother was dx'd she said she would die soon.
