More Snow Melt

I am dreaming of a new bathroom

Istiqlál (Independence), 19 Baha (Splendor), 168 BE – Friday, April 8, 2011 about 2:20 PM Pacific Time

I received good news today. The funding has come through to redo our bathroom. The paperwork has gone to the proper departments and the contractor will give me a call in about two weeks. We will finally get the bathroom up graded so that Mom can take a bath and I will not have to worry about getting her into or out of the tub.

Until the bathroom is finished, Mom will have to be satisfied with a sponge bath. The new bathroom will have a roll in shower, which is nice because Mom’s shower chair will fit into it. I know Mom will not want to use the shower chair, but I will deal with that when the time comes.

The problem now is getting Mom to take a sponge bath when she wants to take a bath in the tub. There is also the issue of getting Mom to take a bath when she thanks she already took one, but if I am persistent, Mom eventually agrees to a sponge bath. I just have to be persistent and gentle.
