I have to get the sites together for you and then I will post. It is not in your area, but if you contact all the baby companies, they send tons of welcome kits, packages with coupons and such. There are a few that are super good. Will post them shortly

Just wondering have any tried changing to those hand held shower things - they come with an attachment for up at the shower head and the length of hose.
some have longer hoses too or you can get extensions to add length. Ours has 5 or 6 different spray options - some have 10. plus you will have better control over where the water hits you and you can sit on a chair or stool if needed. Get the mid priced ones or higher or they will not last long or leak.

Heya...
there are quite a few OT things that can be used to help with getting into the bath. I am STILL waiting for my ceiling track hoists to go in so I can get in to the bath as I just can't handle showers.. and to be honest they are not worth it. I guess nowadays I have realised that I have to live in the real world and I am not spending a week in bed because of wanting to be clean - the pain sweat defeats the shower in about 20 minutes! I have had bed baths for ages now - they are definetly not ideal - BUT it means that I am clean, I don't smell and that although most of me has been attacked by a sponge it's not as painful as showers are!!!! I really advise using a soft sponge or a very old and soft flannel. When drying I can only cope with a very soft old towel which is patted gently - I can't handle rubbing etc. When I was able to get into the bath I used to dry off just lying on th bed because I couldn't bear to have my legs or arms hanging down when I got out because of the exploding feeling. Talcum powder is also brilliant. Hair is the biggest problem... Love Froggsy xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx |
