[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would she enjoy a gentle massage? Perhaps she's [b]touch starved[/b] and could use the rejuvenation.[/quote] + 1 When I visit my frail mom, I warm up some sesame oil and climb into her bed. Then I spread a towel and just start massaging her calves, feet, hands etc, while I am chatting with her. And I wrap the oiled and massaged areas with heated linen towels. She keeps cribbing to my siblings that I am sooooo annoying but she actually likes it very much. Also, we make it a point to hug her all the time. We also keep her very informed about whatever is happening in everyone's lives. She lives with my eldest brother and she has family and people around her. Her quality of life is horribly compromised because she had oral cancer and lost her upper jaw and palate. [/quote]
