Ginger, are you considering a fiberglass walk-in shower? I have a freind who had one installed and she loves it. My plan was/is/may be to have the old tub out and re do the wall tile/add floor tile and grab bars, etc. We'll see. I think I already have the tiles in storage, so costs now will be mostly labor. Just more to consider, weigh pros and cons and make decisions alone, with no consulting my firance nor anyone. This is when I feel so alone, head toward depression. So, I'll work on that today and move ahead in some way.....be safe, and know you have those right here who care and want the best for you! Blessings. Elizabeth
