From what I read the bidet had a slider to adjust temp, they had just turned it all the way up as the old water heater apparently was not as effective at heating the water up as the new electric one they had installed. From the sound of it they didn't think to test the temperature of the bidet after installing the new water heater and as such left the setting on max resulting in a burned anus.

Your license isn't getting suspended, calm down, this is going to cost you money.

You might pay a fine. You or your insurance is definitely paying for that pole, and if you do make a claim with your insurance, your premiums are likely going up.

Why is your bidet hooked up to the hot water line? Toilet bowls are usually fed by the cold water line and retrofit bidets usually tap into that. If you have to dial down your hot water heater to not burn your ass, it may not be hot enough for other tasks like dishwashers and washing machines. Manual bidets are meant to be hooked up to your cold water not hot cuz of the burn risk.

Get yourself a bidet that has a built in tank and heating element. It will warm the cold water just enough to be comfortable plus that have a drying function to dry your rear after the wash cycle is done. Plus other features like a seat warmer, nightlight, self clean feature, misting, etc.

Added this to the update. But she is likely not able to get it due to being one point shy from the diagnosis. Also a disability lawyer told us she is likely not able to get it due to being able to work “some” jobs. We should still apply, get denied, and appeal of course, it just got out on the back burner as other stuff came into focus and we felt it wasn’t likely to succeed. I’ll try to get back on top of that though as it couldn’t hurt to try.

Dude . You are working three jobs to try and support your family . You are not a looser or a bad husband . Not sure what your skill set is or where you are but there are tons of jobs out there that need filling . Sounds to me like you need to find a better job and use any and all support you can get from the community and government

I wouldn’t call it equal, but it can be an addiction. Sometimes you just want something nice in your life when your life is shit. Nearly everyone’s got ar least one thing. Sometimes it’s a sweet treat, sometimes it’s soda, sometimes it’s alcohol, etc. some are better to have than others.

There are literally people who go around taking this stuff, so don't assume the regular trash took it...

Unfortunately, it is nearly impossible to get it back because you have no idea who might have took it. One possibility is if you have a picture, you can try putting up a huge poster and offer a reward.
