Good for you. I had been scared to shower for fear of falling. I bought a shower chair, which helps a lot. I also got a long hose and a different shower head so I could sit down and shower. This has helped me a lot. Also a rubber shower mat keeps me from slipping and bars on two sides of the shower help a lot to make me feel safe. Good luck finding what will work for you.
Hi Deb,
Thank you for sharing your feelings and knowing that we are not alone. It must be difficult having to use oxygen which just makes things more difficult. I'm isolating a lot more than I should, so I have to push myself but it's not very easy for me to do. Oh well, we do the best that we can. Thanks again and take care. Nancy : )
