Bathtub blues

xiphiasRight before Arisia, I attempted to fix the tub enclosure of the bathroom, which needed to be regrouted.
When I went to regrout the tub, a chunk of the tiles just collapsed, because, unbeknownst to me, the blueboard behind the tiles had rotted and fell apart. Since that time, we've had a second shower curtain on a tension rod covering the wall of the tub with the hole in it, as a temporary solution.
Unfortunately, the tension rod is pushing the tub enclosure apart, and the rod has been falling down every day for a while now.
But now it's falling down while we're using the shower. Which means that the temp solution is at the end of its usefulness as a temp solution.
We didn't have the money or the time to fix the tub correctly back when it happened, which is why we used the temporary fix. And we've got even LESS money now, and not really any more time.
So I've got no clue what I'm going to do now.
Any suggestions?
