I just feel it is almost over protection to prevent residents having a hair cut or more importantly a chiropodist come in. I totally appreciate that CH are in a no win situation.
I had to laugh about “ not he washing up bowl” comment as I did indeed soak my feet in the washing up bowl and Pauline threw it out and bought two new ones and gave me a right telling off too. ?If it helps @annielou , I get mum soaking her feet in a bowl (not my washing up one ) for a few minutes , then they are a little softer , I have to do one side of the nail then the other and that makes it easier . I then exfoliate her heels and rub cream in so it’s like a mini pedicure . She loves it ..... I don’t !
It is most difficult going through someone’s possessions , I had to just shut off my brain and get on. Hope brother doesn’t keep you waiting too long to decide to visit and set out what he wants .
? Quite right too !!!!!!I had to laugh about “ not he washing up bowl” comment as I did indeed soak my feet in the washing up bowl and Pauline threw it out and bought two new ones and gave me a right telling off too. ?
That's a shame, not sure how much damage could be done with one of those needles in the kits but I suppose if jabbed at someone it could still hurt a fair bit even though it's plastic and not sharp. Mind you so could a finger but suppose they can't confiscate those. Shame for your mum though, would you (when visiting allows) be able to take it in to do it with her or would it still not be allowed for same reasons then? Mind you that would still mean her missing out on an activity she could do when she's there in quiet times without visitors wouldn't it. ?Health and safety have ruled that Mum cannot have the cross stitch kit even with a plastic needle. I do sort of understand as Mum has been aggressive at times but this was to be done under ‘one to one’ supervision.
