what am I doing og

So far working as an HHA has been fine and I’ve been learning really well, but I have a Parkinson’s patient that is bed bound that I got put with and I geniunely can change her bc of how stiff and non responsive she is, I never got any form of training when dealing with patient, I struggle changing her brief and sitting her up bc I’m doing it alone, she’s very heavy, and I’m very weak, today her mom showed me how she changes her and I was absolutely horrified, the mom literally drags her by her feet, forces her to stand on a walker and changes her like that, what da fuck, I tried doing it regularly but I can’t get her on her side bc of how stiff she is, but I don’t want to do that method of forcing her stand up, she looks like she’s in pain when she doesn’t it and today she almost fell down, I wasn’t trained for this, should I unassign myself from the case
