Mum has soiled herself and I have got her on to the commode. Have got her clothes in the washing machine but I cannot get her to stand up to clean her or clean the commode.
It's all squashed between her bottom and the commode.
This was why I needed a hoist and a toileting hoist in particular. This was why I tried to get one privately and the company were going to lend me one after training me in how to use it to see how I got on with it. If I hadn't been stopped from getting one by social services and the OT I wouldn't be in this predicament right this moment.
So mum cannot stand up. She is virtually naked because anything I put round her or on her she tucks between her legs and it gets soiled.
I have nobody to help me lift her and no way of getting her to stand.
