Mom was complaining to me that she was having a hard time getting out of the bathtub every day. So we decided to come up with solutions. We also brought in the occupational therapist to make good suggestions. First we found out that Mom couldn't get out of the tub because her knees are too weak and she was afraid of falling. Solutions seemed rather simple. A bathtub chair, anti-slip grip tape in the tub and a properly installed grip on the wall as well as a grip on the bathtub and a hand held shower head would solve the issue. All was done and things were going well.
Then Heinz came back from his last trip from his move to their new home. After a couple of weeks the grip on the tub was gone. Today the chair legs were only half as tall as before. Obviously Heinz has cut them off. His purpose is not known to me, but I know it will only make things harder for Gertrud to get out of the tub again. I feel angry, confused and frustrated. I also don't want to get into any issues. I feel too weak emotionally, so I just let it go. I don't know if I did right or wrong. Sometimes maybe it's just their affair, for better or worse.......
