How to get parent to bathe?

MAYDAY Mar 2020
And then again... I am due for a colonoscopy... Way over due... I don't want anyone seeing down there or up there. or whatever...where ver...
Nope, I havent made THAT appointment yet.. my doc is going to be upset...
and unfortunately, I think I know the colonoscopist from a job many years ago.. the name is the same.... and no, I don't want to be that intimate with that doc.
last time i had a laproscopy to see why I wasn't getting pregnant. I asked the anesittheisogist. . if he knew my friend who was a nurse anethiesist. Yup.. He asked if I was so and so's wife... What a small world...... awkward.

Do the home test. Piece of cake! That’s what I did and my doctor said the home test is fine.

Maybe sponge baths?
Not ideal, but it's a thought.

So many people have this issue. Are you trying to bathe her or someone from an agency?

People from an older generation can be very modest. Sometimes they will do better with a health care worker from an agency.

Sometimes they don’t want to bathe because they have a fear of falling. They get cold too. There are lots of reasons.

Others will offer support as well. Best wishes to you and your family.
