About falling, I have no sense of balance, but if I look at my feet in the shower, then I have a better chance of knowing where they are. I fall a lot too, but I try to stay in my wheelchair except in the shower. We gutted our bathroom and had a walk in shower put in so that way, I can get my wheelchair up to a large stone bench and that has made it safer for me. I used to have one of those portable plastic benches, but when I would fall, the bench would fall with me and I would be stuck on the floor until my husband could rescue me.
