What we have is a big garden tub, which I use, and a separate shower,
which my husband uses (we also have a combination tub/shower in the
other bathroom, but that is the home of the litter box). I don't have
any problem getting in or out of the tub, just wonder if I am
compressing something doing it....OK, getting a grab bar. The shower
has a built-in seat. Good idea with the hand shower. I got one years
ago, but can't get my husband to install it. Thanks for the ideas!
I am legally blind without my glasses and always wear them in the tub.
Guess using the shower will be a good excuse to get contacts.
