It hurts

I have this client whose insurance company will only pay for a licensed nurse to come in and do things for them, not aides. So I took on this client for the company. But right now Im begining to think that was a VERY BAD idea. She is on this kick that if my hands arent in a bucket of cleaning solution than Im not doing anything. Which is bullshit, but whatever. With the weather being ridiculously crappy right now and the cleaning solutions my knuckles are EXTREMELY dry. I mean so dry they are cracked and bleeding. It hurts alot. Ive been using lotion, body cream, body butter. I dont know what else to do. Well, except, maybe drop the client. But I cant do that because I need the hours. UGH.

My sister thinks that I should try the night emoillient in the Satin Hands collection from Mary Kay. It just makes my knuckles burn more. I dont know what to do. Ive racked my brain for anything that may be hidden in the corners of  my brain, somethinaloeg I may have learned in school, but Im coming up blank. I have even tried aloe. Pure, 100%, straight from the plant aloe. And thats not helping. So if anyone out there knows something that will work please, please, please let me know.
