Hi Dear Family! I am over at my parents now helping out for the weekends and there are two things my dad really needs help with. First off, he has a horrible pressure sore on the top of his nose from the bi-pap. It hurts! He has some medication that his doctor has given him, but its not helping much. The problem is, he likes to be on his bi-pap most of the time, and he has tried other masks and doesnt like them. I was thinking like a bandaid for a corn and then close up the sides of his mask with silly puddy? Seems like the best thing would be like a strip of a gel pack that would be really slim to go on his nose and up his forehead a bit? Any ideas? Ideally, he needs to let air to get to it, but he needs to be on the bi-pap. OYE!
The other problem is the swollen burning feet. There has got to be a cream out there that would at least help cool them down. I have had that from time to time with my diabetes and its miserable! Any suggestions?
My mom is sooooooooooooo EXHAUSTED, and my dad is depressed. Please help me to help them!
Love to ya all!
