I know I have the directions somewhere, just can't find them. How big do you make rice packs for around the neck and how much rice do you put in? My room is a total mess with trying to get things done so I can't find anything.

For several reasons I have had very sore shoulders lately. I recently purchased, but could have made if I had been able to open and see how it was made, a heating bag for upper back and shoulder pain. It is a long tube similar to the long bags that go around the neck, but is more flat than round and divided into 3 sections with the 'innards' being loosely filled. The back section is wider than the sides. When put on the neck it is adjustable to sit lower on the neck and over the shoulders. I love it. I find those long ones that go around the neck heat the neck only. I may try to make some if I need another or know someone with upper back or shoulder pain.

When I told my in-laws about the microwave/freezer rice bags, they made their own - out of socks ! Yup - they just filled a solo sock with the rice, yanked a knot in the open end, and that was that. They were easy to empty and wash, molded to fit just about any body part that needed cold or warm comfort, and didn't require any craftwork at all. They even made a small one, from a solo sock of our son's, for things like ear pain or eye styes. FIL liked his firm (packed tight), MIL liked hers more loose. This way, they could have both ! And it only required a trip to the pantry and 'missing sock' drawer. |
