I have a gentleman that is pretty much bed ridden. Change his Depends, and again work myself on down? Or start from the bottom and work on up?

If he can talk, ask him where he'd like you to start. ... I'd get the worst part over first since it gives you the heebie-jeebies and takes longer to dry. Then the legs, and upper body. Use a hair blower to speed up the drying (my pitbulls loved it), talcum powder, and a touch of cologne. He'll be grateful; and you'll be relieved.
