I have to bathe everyday at least once! In the summer it can be three times because i have a dx of global hyperhydrosis, i sweat from places i never dreamed had sweat glands!!! (and being incontinent makes it even more necessary to bathe regularly) after all i am too young to have that characteristic stale sweat/ pee smell that you get in old folks homes! i still have my dignity, no one or nothing can take that away from me! if i do not bathe for one day i get deep sores from the sweat which take weeks to heal!

i wish there was such a social group here but there are none, loads who want your help but none willing to help you!!! you make it sound so easy but there really is no one here to help me at all, i have tried everything possible everyway possible and then tried again!!!! still no luck, the problem is i am too self reliant, too practicle and to giving, yep too giving, people see me giving my all to whoever needs my help/support and they think i am fine and able to cope when infact a teapot can only give so much tea before having to be given a refil!!

nope the only person here to help me is me, if i can't do it it doesn't get done! that's the reality of having no family or friends who really care.. you end up like i was, housebound with one person getting shopping for me once every 6 or so weeks, seing no one at all in between unless the postman needed a signiture!! yes that is what i endured for 18 months before i cracked and tried to end my life!. hey ho, i just wish adult services would do their job and adapt my home then i would not need any help !!!!
