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.
I would love to be able to take a tub bath instead of being Stuck with showers as I have been over the years. Dr's have said my knees are not stable - I can't stand for long periods anymore as they do start to get weak.
A walk in tub allows me to sit and soak my knees, lower back, my hands (arthritic) a shower even with a seat would be a waste of water.[/quote]
you can buy shower chairs,really convienent
