He had trouble taking a shower
“I'm in the hospital and I wanted to take a bath, but it turned out that the bathrooms look like this: a forty-centimeter threshold with no chair, so there's no way to even take a shower. But I was offered to wash myself at bed, or a nurse comes and washes me,” Wala confessed.
He added that this is an exceptionally strange and unpleasant experience for him. As he emphasizes, he is able to bathe on his own, he just needs the right conditions for this. After talking to the staff, he learned that he can use “after talking, it turned out that suddenly there is a renovated bathroom for women in the ward next door.”
