Now maybe this will seem silly to you...............but..........this would not
work for a christmas gift, but it is something that brought great comfort to my
mother who was very sore until she died a the age of 91. She had a lot of back
pain and leg pain. We filled tube socks with rice and tied them in a knot and
put them in the microwave for at least 1 minute. These would conform to all
areas where the pain was and would hold heat for several hours. Mom swore by
them and I still use them. When they get dirty you dump the rice, wash the
socks, and put clean rice in. Minute rice seems to work best. Maybe it is
because it is lighter. We got this idea from some we were buying for 11 dollars
a piece. I cut an old dirty one open one day before throwing it away and low
and behold it was rice, so for less than a dollar apiece, now we can have as
many as we want. Don't fill tightly, leave enough room so that they can form to
the body part. Hope this helps to comfort him, doesn't help as far as a
christmas gift tho ;o)))
