@gloaming , Mom's already proven herself vulnerable as all of us are. She just has a very "flexible memory." We saw her PCP yesterday regarding a biopsy for a skin itching issue she's had since July. She hasn't followed Drs instructions and has suffered the itching on her back. Instead she bought a creme off the internet because she prefers the seller's advertising to the Dr's advice. The Dr is going to have new bloodwork done but offered my mother may have little or no relief available. It was a little confusing to me but I think her age puts limits on what she could expect. The biopsy showed the cause of her itching was coming from within her body, not externally.
If anyone has experience with this sort of condition, please comment, thank you.
