Thx for the info! Yes, I’m really debating it all now. With the additional stuff we need to put in there, if we do the bidet (and toilet that goes with it) that the plumber recommends, and get an electrician out to do an outlet near the commode—we are looking at $2000 minimum (probably more, because the shower handheld got damaged somehow, think they will need to break through a closet wall to get into a shower wall and reinforce for grab bar, etc etc etc—snowballing here!) Yikes. But not sure my dad will use it if being hit with cold water….we will see! Plus, this is the only bathroom in the house that is really viable for him (it is en suite to his room and easily accessible with walker), all this work will take at least an entire day. Not sure what I could do with him for all that time…..Plus, he feels it’s been working fine for the last 4.5years he has been living here as is, so sees no reason for the changes. But his needs have gradually changed and I can see the necessity….
