Judy: I, c.

c. Top sheets folded in half, rather than cut, and used double also help to eliminate bulk.
d. A huck drawn sheet fashioned from a two and one-half yard length of the toweling folding in half and stitched securely, makes minor adjustments in my position easier for the nurse.
6. Most mornings include a sponge bath in bed and for this we have found:
a. A two-sided plastic water pail works very well with one side used for soaping and the other side for clear rinsing.
b. During the past five years we have amassed quite a supply of bath linen, which includes more than sixty wash cloths and about a dozen each hand and bath towels. This is really not as extravagant as it seems, because a bad day can wipe out the entire supply. (A soiled wash cloth is never returned to the pail, to prevent contaminating the bath water. Pursuing this topic of contamination, any linen which is dropped or touches the e floor, goes directly into that day's laundry - unused.) Pillow case, bottom sheet and nightgown are all laundered daily along with each morning's accumulation of bath linen. A bacteriostatic fabric softener is always used in the laundry rinse water. All of this may seem over scrupulous, but it has proven effective in maintaining healthy skin.
7. A metal tea cart can be a great help in the daily bath, by wheeling bath water, soap, linen, powder, cologne, Dermassage, etc. right up to the bedside, so everything is within reach. Ours includes an electrical outlet into which a razor or other appliance may be plugged.
