I (41F) have spastic diplegia. I’ve adapted all my showering processes to my abilities and limitations now that I’m not in my 20s anymore- walk in shower with seat, detachable shower head, long scrubbing cloth to wash my back. The only thing I haven’t figured out is my feet. I can clip the toe nails on my good days (just barely), but I’m increasingly ashamed of the recurring athletes foot, poor circulation, fungal infection in the toe nails (not terrible at this point because I try to periodically put tea tree oil on them when my body lets me). I desperately want to feel like my feet are as clean and cared for as the rest of my body after a shower. Does anyone have tips to make washing/drying easier for someone who has very limited flexibility, balance and range? Any tools? As for the fungal infection- I’m not interested in any oral meds that could wreck my liver or kidneys.
