Hi fibro 10 i believe their are chairs that can be used in showers probably findthem in disability aids. Sorry about your fall i know it can be painful and shake you up a bit, sounds like you hav e a lovely daughter,

Sorry to hear you have been in the wars I congratulate you on only using one naughty word I have been known to swear like a navvy in a similar situation sometimes coming out with words I didn't know I knew. Yes I think a walk in shower would be the answer or even a wet room. We are hoping to move and that is a priority for me as I have had a few slips lately or have banged my knee or foot trying to get out of the bath after a shower as ours is over the bath as my legs are so stiff.

You could perhaps ask your daughter just to come for a short period each day at an agreed time so that is when you do the more "dangerous" bits like showering. If it wasn't for the sweaty feeling you have after a bad night I would say to have your shower whilst your husband was there at night as it is rather nice to go to bed all warm and glowing from the shower and clean. I tend now to assess how I feel and wash my hair and shower whenever I have plenty of time so I don;t try rushing and when I am feeli ng at my best. I then dry my body and sit with a towel around my head absorbing the moisture for a bit so I am having a rest before attempting to style the old barnet.

Hope the lumps and bumps heal soon.xxx

Hi fibro10

I am so sorry to read of your fall, and I sincerely hope that you are on the mend soon. I have done this myself on two occasions, and so I understand how disturbing it is. I do not think that you can ever explain things like this to somebody who loves you as all they can think about is your well-being? Bless her!

All my hopes and dreams for you
