Maybe I shouldn't admit this as I'm 66 and I'm not exactly infirm or disabled but when I screwed up my knee a few years ago I added the potty height extender. Until then my husband had to offer me his arm so I could get off the toilet. I also have a shower head with the extra long hose. How did I ever get my undercarriage clean and soap free before having this tool? Lots of splashing. The handheld makes it so easy. I freaking love being clean!

While my knee was mending I go t myself a transfer bench. I have a roomy shower, and truthfully, none of the little stools seemed as stable as the bench. I love sitting to take a shower. How did I ever really get my feet clean before? I'm not a contortionist, not even a gymnyst.

I don't have a grab bar. We are remodeling one of our bathrooms and have plans to have the contractor add a grab bar. We aren't getting any younger and the plan is to re-tile so now''s the time.

I'm thinking about splurging on a walk in tub. I love soaking in a hot tub. Getting in and out of a regular tub at 66 is...hilarious. Nobody wants to see that! And again, we aren't getting any younger. It will add value to our home.
