An aide last evening told me flatly that if I haven't had a shower in some time when she comes next week, she will give me one-- presumably whether I wanted one or not. She also asked me if I would tell her the truth about the last time I had one.
I don't doubt she's a good aide and a good person, but I didn't appreciate being talked to like that in my own home. I try to remember these aides probably deal with people and situations when they have to be more assertive, but I am perfectly capable of deciding when I take a shower and who gives it to me.
