Yes, it IS very dangerous for her to just lay in bed. A blood clot could form at any time. She should be wearing those hose that are good for preventing clots ~ ask the pharmacy or medical supply store for some. They should have some. Keep them on her as long as she's in bed. And if she's not drinking, she's probably dehydrated, and therefore won't urinate. She doesn't have anything to void. You can tell by "pinching" some skin on her hand, and if it stays UP, then she's dehydrated. If it goes immediately back down, she's not. Chances are, she is.

Perhaps she'll drink more thru a straw. You might think she's drinking alot, but she needs more. Get her a straw. They like that - at least my husband did when he was sick. Many things taste like metal too when they're on chemo - Get her some stronger tasting drinks like cranberry juice - that's good for the kidneys, plus it tastes stronger. Get some Insure - that gives her added Nutrients. Make her drink several a day if she will. Mix the Insure with ice cream - that makes a good malted. Buy some of the flavored teas, if she likes tea - that might give her more energy cause it has caffeine in it. lol I can't think of much else, but this is a start.

Ask the doc about an antidepressant. She sure could use one at this time. No one should die feeling so depressed. God bless, and take care of YOURSELF too! Hugs, Lee
