I would love to be able to sit in a bathtub to soak, I can't get out of one due to my ankles and knees.
A walk in tub would enable me to sit n soak - a spa room where I would have a space heater and a chair to hold bathrobe and towel.[/quote]

After taking care of my late DH as his legs weakened over the years, I'd STRONGLY suggest you find a way to put up grab bars.
Over the years I put up 8 of them in the master bathroom. And now I find them beginning to be handy to help me keep my balance in soapy water since I like the showers better than the tub.
