Ohhhh, man. Are you both being 'tough' for the other? That'll work for a while.
It's got to be just really hard. Really, really hard.
Here we have county visiting nurses (not all are actual RNs, they are helpers) that will come by three days a week to help a person shower. I just happen to know. It's a free part of our senior health care, the thought being that it's a lot more cost effective than having people in a skilled facility.
Do you guys have anything like that? It'd be a real help.
I am finding it really very hard in every way, my body hurts and it's not helping my mental health as i am drained.
I may have to phone our social care and see if i can get some help but can't see hubby wanting a stranger in to help him shower.
