Hi loulamb, glad you've had OT help . I've got a walk in shower and just wonder if this would be better for you?. Happy New Year. X
A walk in shower would be so much better . This is the first step I suppose because I could sit on the board . I said it varies day to day .
The OT said they can get the council to fit a railing to help if I struggle . It will be the getting up after sitting down for so long . I’ll see how it goes 🙂
I was one of the lucky ones. The OT got me a walk in shower with seat and handrail and it does make life so much better,
Have you asked OT if you can appply for a shower? Best wishes Kevin
Anything that makes washing easier is on the top of my "I want" lists. I have a decent shower over the bath but get very cold using it. Now I have a very quick "wartime rationing" bath. I don't feel as clean, and have always preferred a shower, but it'll do for now.
I can’t lower myself up and out of the bath . I just don’t have the strength for it . I use the shower but slipped nearly once so made me very anxious about it . So I normally have quick hair wash and shower so never felt 100% clean. So hopefully this board will help so I can shower long !
