I have neuropathy in my left leg that exhibits as no feeling/control. I really like our original tub shower, but I was fearful of entering/exiting it and losing my balance. So, we converted the second bathroom tub shower to a walk-in. We had the contractor place hand guides on either end, and I use a bath mat to feel more confident. Looking to get a collapsible shower chair soon, after an incident of low blood pressure during a shower.

Hi Ginger, sounds like a great decision for you and you must feel much safer now. That must be very difficult not having feeling in your feet and I can't imagine just how frightening it must be for you. The collapsible chair sound like a very good idea. I'm 5'9" and sometimes I'm afraid of falling but so far so good. I do have a bar that I bought and I can hold onto that if I should feel dizzy. Do take care and thank you for all of your replies, they are very much appreciated.
Take care,
Nancy : )
