Is it because:
- it wipes me out just to prep for a shower; gathering towels, setting up the shower chair, fetching shampoo or soap, disrobing, combing out my hair, etc
- i hate showering in a shower chair; spots get missed
- it uses up tons of spoons to get clean; all that scrubbing and hair washing
- i now have to shampoo my hair several times to get all the oil out of it
- i have to use all sort of concoctions to get rid of the armpit stink
- i almost alway run out of hot water before I'm finished
- i can't reach everywhere that needs soap
- the cat is slowly ripping apart my scrubbie and I keep forgetting to buy a new one
- i can never dry myself off very well because I'm sitting on the edge of the tub while toweling off
- combing my hair out makes my arms ache
- my hair takes forever to dry
- i only smell/look good for about 24 hours but can only shower once or twice a week i.e. it is an enormous exercise in futility
- i don't want to undress in the cold
That about covers it. And yes I really should be in the shower right now instead of writing about how much I don't want to shower.
Awh, bless you! I have ME/CFS but it's really good to read your story!
