At long last, I have a carer coming in once a day to help me. Having been bedbound pretty much for the last year, I’ve lost so much muscle I can’t do allot such as washing and drying my hair. Someone did this for me today and it was bliss. I even had my back washed! It’s quite a strange experience having a complete stranger bathe you but it has to be done. ☺️

Good news for you…and as we know if you cannot do things for yourself, someone else has to..🌸
Am very pleased for you. I know its hard to accept help but you have done so gracefully. Best Wishes.
Thanks. It is abit embarrassing but at least they were female! I’m not sure if I’d cope if they were male. X
Carers are usually female - men have to cope with it. My husband did without a murmur.
I can imagine how blissful that was Bramble, it can be quite a relief when we receive the help we need. Wishing you all the best.
