I have a question about taking an actual bath. My legs don't work anymore and I have no core strength either. My arm strength is limited as well. My question is I want to be able to soak without my husband having to lift me into the tub. He is in way too much pain to be able to lift me at all.
I currently have Medicare and Texas Medicaid but I cannot seem to find something that will put me in the tub that Medicaid covers. Does anyone have any information on an easy way to take a bath with this limitation? The reason why I want to be able to take a bath is because I need to soak my skin. Since I am incontinent and have to wear a diaper all the time now, my skin starts to really smell even after I've been cleaned thoroughly. I want to be able to just soak in the tub to deodorize my skin.
Does anyone understand or have this problem? And does anyone have any suggestions on a way to be able to do this at little to no cost? We cannot afford to pay for anything as we have no income accept my disability and that pays our bills, barely.
