Hi everyone
My aunt and uncle are staying with me this week. My aunt is much worse than when i saw her only a few weeks ago.
Well, my uncle told me she hasn't had a bath for the last 3 weeks and he's really worried about this as she's always been immaculately turned out. Yesterday i ran a bath for her (after many refusals and denials that she hadn't had a bath for ages). I stood outside the door and heard her struggling to get in. The moment i went downstairs she got dressed and came out of the bathroom stating that she'd had a bath. This was only two minutes after she'd gone in. Can anyone give me some tips (that i can pass on to my uncle) on how to get her into the bath.
She's getting a bit unsteady on her feet mainly due to ingrowing toenails which haven't been treated (this is being addressed when they get back home) and i'm wondering if she just 'can't' get in the bath anymore, do you have any suggestions??
She's also getting quite upset that she doesn't want to go home at the weekend. We have told a white lie and said that we're going away on holiday so she would be here on her own, but how long can we keep this up??
Any suggestions will be gratefully received and passed on to my uncle who is doing a fantastic job but getting very worn out.
