[quote=Anonymous]My mom hasn't showered since ... at least the early 90's. Possibly the 80's. She's very fat and has neurological issues and is very unsteady on her feet. If she is standing still holding onto something and someone runs quickly by her she loses her balance and nearly falls down.

Each member of the family has gently confronted her about the lack of showering and she emphatically lies to us claiming she does. She used to claim she showered during the day while we were at school. We never saw any evidence of used towels though. My sister and I discussed it a few times - if we were home sick from school for 3-4 days in a row neither of us ever noticed her shower.

When my parents last moved my dad re-did their master bathroom and put in a big shower with a wall seat and handicapped railings, as well as no step (she has trouble with steps) to get into the shower. She STILL never showered there.

I think she may do the washcloth at the sink thing like once a month or so? Or just not at all? That may be wishful thinking on my part. I actually stopped hugging her because she smells so badly. She gives fat people a bad stereotype. [/quote]
