“Everyone should have a key worker such as my hospice nurse”.

 



My hospice nurse says that she is my key worker and I think each person with an illness of this kind needs to see, find out who their key worker is. 

One thing that she suggested to me at one stage was a TENS machine; it means Trans Electrical Nerve Stimulation. And I was able to hire one from the local pharmacy for a week and try it out. So sometimes there are things which you might think are expensive, but could be hired.

Yeah.

And it's worth really finding out from, from the local pharmacy perhaps. You know, if things can be hired rather than bought.
