So it was me today, the bad aide who cuts corners. I did fine with the incontinence care, with face and hands, with antifungal cream on toes. But no washing of torso, no flossing of teeth. No exercising of limbs. Nor did I do any of that for myself. I basically napped when she napped. Except when I was eating.
And now finally I can think, after "putting her to bed" for the night. 3/?
