,

Me too, purple nails. I do so much better if I can leave the door open, even window open in winter, floor fan and exhaust fan. Freezing into a popsicle is not as bad as that big old drop in 02.

I do the chair and hand held shower, turn up the 02 to 10. Don't dry, just put that big robe on and get out of that room. Still drops.

I long for a long hot steamy shower. Oh, a long hot bath would be so nice.

The loss of this luxury is one of the things I hate, hate, hate.

Good explanation. Now, how to do this little task?
