My net is going crazy

I've the lights on since about 4.30 and I've a fire on :(

Mmm, always did wonder what was wrong with me geraniums and Busy Lizzy.

Child is recovering well. Have to "encourage" her to do her exercises. She doesn't like them. She had spinal fusion so her mobility is a bit limited .


Now, want a nice clever suggestion as to how I might wash her hair. C'mon, thinking caps on my dears.

Chucken

Hi Alice Glad the little ones doing well.

You could use dry shampoo on her hair?

I'm afraid to ask what was done to her

Chucken, I've used the dry shampoo an' it was okayish - but she really would prefer to wash it like.

She had scoliosis (bendy spine). She had two rods (chrome cobalt) inserted (one each side of her spine) and screwed into the vertebrae. Her spine is much straighter now, however, she has to take fairly strong painkillers to keep the pain under control.

Chucken

Aw bless her. I suppose washing the hair with her standing up might be the easiest way?? Loads of towels on the floor and worry about cleaning up the water later.

looksee

could you lie her on her back on say a bed with plastic and towels on it and have her head over the edge backwards with a bowl beneath. Two person job, one to support? Is that totally daft?

Ali when my daughter was tiny she hated soapy water in her eyes so to wash her hair I used to sit her in a kitchen chair and lean it back on two legs against the bath. Maybe not such a good idea for your daughter considering her op. Unless you have someone to hold the chair for you.

Alice1

Lying on bed with bowl underneath sounds good. I'll try that. Not sure about tilting the chair - janey if she fell I'd never forgive myself. She's got some glue in her hair from the electrodes on her head. Now they gave us some wipes to remove it but they stink to high heaven! Really horrid solvent-y smell. Her hair is really thick as well.

Probably best! Still, maybe the nursing staff could advise you better, after all they must have to be inventive in these kind of situations in the hospital too.

Might be a good idea to use the solvent to get rid of the glue - if you just wet it it could go into lots of little messy bits.

Ah thanks Rube. She is okay, just a bit limited in her mobility at present. It major surgery and there was serious blood loss but she is improving every day. We got the hair washed - took myself and DH and about 5 bath towels but we got there.

Where is Old Goat these days? Don't think we've heard from him for a while. You don't suppose he has escaped do you?

I have been surfing...real surfing, in the surf. Now I'm back and taking to my bed for a week or two. Ask Nurse to bring her best massaging oils.

Jellybaby1
