I said rabbits at midnight last night and think it was the first thing I said though I had been chatting with Mandy cat at the time! We spent a busy day, with a trip to oncologist to just check in. He renewed Mel's pain medicine and tested and qualified him for supplemental oxygen as needed for shortness of breath. Dr still has his eyes and feelers out in case a new treatment comes up, but for most part he advises we do anything Mel wants to do as the end approaches at a unknown time ahead. We went from there to the cannabis clinic to pick up what is called FECO ( full extraction cannabis oil) which has proven very helpful for Mel for sleep and pain relief as well as lifting mood. FECO is much more effective than the CBD sold in various places because FECO is derived from cannabis where most CBD , make that any sold out side I'd cannabis places, is made from hemp and contains no THC- the part that makes you high to greater or lesser degrees depending on strain of plant used and concentration. Anyhow I had bought a bottle of 18:1 (18 CBD to 1 THC ) for him last time we were there and turned out it was very effective. So bought more plus some 1:1.
Came home and made spaghetti sauce at Mel's request to serve with Miracle Noodles, made from Glucomanan, but when I served it he was too nauseated to eat as he often is when pain is high. I used a low carb sauce by a company called Rao and it was pretty good. at least he had drunk the super shake I made for his breakfast.
Chris and I have dental checks today. And I have paperwork to redo for Chris issues, but other than a nurse visit on Friday, that's our week. One day I'm going to learn to post photos here.
I sure appreciate Beth's efforts for us.
