@belinda5000 normally i have someone here and if not i can wait, however there is always that one occasion where like the saying goes- life happens.

Hi @belinda5000
I completely understand your concern and appreciate you sharing it — safety is always our priority.
Usually, my husband is at home when I shower, but as @randallshields56 pointed out, there are times when I simply can't wait for him to get home. In those moments, I follow the extra precautions that many of our group members have already shared here.
That said, I've personally chosen not to let the fear of a seizure dictate every aspect of my daily routine — including something as basic as showering. With the right precautions in place, I feel comfortable managing this on my own when needed.
Of course, this is a very personal decision that will depend on each person's seizure frequency, type, and individual circumstances.
