as a 76 yo woman with severe arthritis I have to realize slow and steady wins the race. my shower is attached to a clawfoot tub which is adorable and very steady I cannot get out of the bath or up from the floor. I am trying to lose weight with semiglutide I watch YouTube videos about getting up from the floor. so, taking a shower washing my hair is a huge accomplishment. giving myself a break from shame and guilt over slowing down.

Please install handrails and a seat in shower to help you get up. Also, wear an alert necklace if you are in distress. Hope this helps. God bless you!
