[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please shower each day.  You will feel better. [/quote]

Showering for me is a task. I’m in a lot of pain. The herniated disc presses on my sciatic nerve. Standing up, bending, and walking is really painful. I can only stand for very short periods before the pain becomes too much. [/quote]

1. Could you fit a plastic lawn chair in your shower? DH leaves it on the shower at all times, unless he is showering. You do not life the chair. DH lifts the chair. That would make showing more restful.

2. What does your doctor say about this? Does she know how hard showering is for you? Ask her if you’d qualify for social services. If you don’t qualify for government assistance of some kind, I’d start calling local churches. Some old lady somewhere is done having kids and would love to hold your baby while you shower. Say that you prefer people who already volunteer in the church’s childcare program. Those ladies should have passed a basic background check. [/quote]

I can buy a chair. We don’t have any chairs except for our nice dining room chairs. We do have a bench on the shower but it’s built and out of the flow of the shower head.

My doctor knows. I’m on managed pain assistance with medication. I refuse to take a lot and try to manage with OTC nsaids and heat/ice therapy. I do plan to go see a physical therapist once I’m 6 weeks.

We don’t qualify for assistance. We make a combined 200. We don’t go to church and we aren’t interested in a random stranger caring for our child. The person has to be well vetted.

Honestly, then just deal with your problems. You've been given medication to feel better but you won't take it. It's been suggested you get some help but you poo poo that idea by calling caregivers random strangers. Have fun with your situation then. Why did you even bother asking for help on this forum? You clearly have it all figured out. [/quote]
