kimspr3, you might try getting a small shower chair and a handheld shower head. That worked for my husband when he was unable to stand anymore.

@kimspr3 I really like @rmftucker ‘s suggestions about the shower chair and hand held shower. I would also add having hand rails installed and a non-slip mat inside and outside the shower. The Council or Agency on Aging should have helpful suggestions. Before I came home from rehab, an occupational therapist therapist inspected my house for safety. My husband pulled up small rugs, put in motion detector lights, and fixed the bathroom like above. And my neighbor came and installed small ramps at doors since I was using a walker (rollator)! Is there an Agency on Aging in your area? Or someone who could help you brainstorm? Will you let us know? We care about you and your safety.
