Purchased Baby Wipes To Wash When My Hips Are Problematic
[ Sunday October 13th 2024 at 8:39 pm ]
Physically speaking my left artificial hip failing me is making maintaining a standard of personal hygiene very hard. I haven't given up on this. But I have been counting the cost of washing my body compared to my long "to do" list and measuring the impact of each chore against what else I hope to do in a day. A pharmacist has given me a suggestion. He is suggesting I use baby wipes to wash my body on the days I am unable to get into the tub or shower. The only stipulation is that I purchase baby wipes that are almost exclusively made out of water. We don't want anything added to my body that would cause a secondary issue. For example: not risking an infection under my foreskin. This is very reasonable. It is a creative solution to personal hygiene. This will leave me with the ability to do other chores during the day time. I am open to trying new things. I don't see this as being negative or my life imploding. All of this is a means to an end. The goal is to keep going until the reason why my left artificial hip keeps letting me down is resolved. I am grateful for the suggestion. I am interested to see how this goes for me.
