Well, I got him a bath

I can't talk about a lot of today but I did get him a bath.  That was tricky, getting him in and out. 

If I need homecare assistance with anything I need help with getting him in and out of the tub.  Ron found it very taxing. 

Once I got him in there he did fine on his own it was just getting him in and out.

I have many things I could suggest both for this and your vending machine/junk food problem but you’d just come up with a bunch of reasons why nothing would work so have fun.

We just need a big beefy guy who can help lever him out of the tub, and get him in safe. Ron did not have a good "entry" last night.

The problem with the home care agencies they want to set you up with a whole network which is nice for most, but I really only need help getting him in and out of the bath. ALTHOUGH I think we did a great job getting him out. And into bed.

But, yet again, we will be needing that plastic plank flooring.

You need a whole network. You are not capable of being objective about Ron's true needs. He needs people to talk to him, listen to him, and help him.

Ron had not been bathed properly in over a month. The other day someone suggested a walk in tub and you said that getting in and out wasn't the issue. Now it's the only issue? The only thing you need help with? Not even close.

You are harming him by refusing to get him real help. He has very real physical, emotional and cognitive issues. You need to get him help and stop clinging to his income streams. Get help for yourself to set up your financial and employment future.

I remember her saying that his getting in and out of the tub was not a problem. That the reason he didn't want to take a bath was because it was too cold and he demanded that the inside temperature be 100 degrees. Yes she is hurting him by not reaching out to get proper caregiving help. Not to mention how she says one thing but does the opposite. I don't know if it is her own mental illness coming into play with all this too. Medicated or not.

He was OK getting in and out... but not last night. Maybe the vodka, maybe just deteriorating.

Ok now he was drunk? I think the problem is you put your own interests first. You don’t want someone coming to the house because of how it makes you look and feel. To hell with the disabled man who needs help and you won’t give it. You flip flop more than a politician.

He is always drunk.

You are now saying he is always drunk but in other comments and posts you say he is not drunk all the time. I don't know what to believe anymore from you.

He is not drunk, at work. If he is awake at home he is drinking.

Hinting and saying something provable are two different things.
