I need to stop procrastinating and buy medical equipment so that my bathroom does not look like bloody crime scene after a shower one of these days. I have been very lucky with "safe" falls, but I'm a nurse, I know my luck is gonna run out and I will have been an idiot for not being prepared.
I really need a tub transfer bench, i won't bore you, but it's safer than a tub seat for people who fall the way I do. Well, they are not cheap, even used, take up so much space, IDK, it might have to be taken off after every shower so I can use my toilet. I know I need this, but this feels like an item for a much older person, like 50 yrs older. And I resent dropping so much dough on something I hate!
My aunt showed up with a shower seat (free), I have one grab bar, I think if I add one that attaches to the tub, I will be safe. So that just saved me $150.
She also showed me her 3 wheeled walker. I use my mom's souped up one with a seat and brakes and I hate it, goes too fast. This thing my aunt has is not as apparent as a walker, it has a huge bag you can put things in while you shop. So now I want that. It is a sad, sad day when medical equipment makes your heart flutter, lmao
