two weeks ago the DH had surgery on his shouldersince then we've been really friendly with ice packs
now we have a couple of those blue gel packs, but they don't really stay cold for a 30 minute cooling session, and they're kind of pricey
my daughter shared a recipe with me to do a home made version
I whipped up a couple of these and we've been using them at least 3 times a day ever since -- they're even better than those blue things
it is really simple and really cheap too!
Small pack:
2 - 1 quart zip top plastic bags
3/4 cup water
1/4 cup rubbing alcohol
pour the liquids into one bag, squeeze out the air and zip close, insert into second bag, zip close and freeze
Big pack:
2 - 1 gallon zip top plastic bags
2 1/4 cup water
3/4 cup rubbing alcohol
if you want even smaller ones, use sandwich bags and split the quart measurements!

These instructions are really easy, and the finished product is way cool (or will be, after you put it in the freezer)! [Ducking to avoid being hit with a flying ice ball, as the snow is too dry for snowballs.]
