@heisenberg34 Here it is March and my sister is still alive. I don’t know how considering what she is going through. Last time I posted she had her pump removed and a new one put in. During that surgery her lung was nicked then from that point they did another surgery to stabilize her vertebrae. Since then she has lost all use of her left leg and foot now the same is happening to her right leg. She is living in a wheelchair almost 24 hours a day. Can’t sleep has bed sore and now has yeast infections where her body overlaps. She lives alone in an elderly housing. She gets help most days but on some no one shows up. Her pain is unbearable and I have reached out to different groups to get her help. We tried to get her hospice but they rejected her. Palliative care wouldn’t see her. She feels due to having a pain pump and so many complications no one wants to help her. She is in Massachusetts. Her new pain pump is dropping due to no muscle or fat to hold it in place. Any suggestions.

@heisenberg34 She is back in the hospital in excruciating pain. I don’t honestly think there is much more that can be done. Thank you so much for your reply!
