Guest guest Posted July 31, 2005 Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 Hey there...yeah our bathtub has a pretty large ledge around it b/c it's one of those regular sized bathtubs that has jacuzzi jets in it...i guess they put those there if you want like aromatherapy candles around the tub or whatever...that ledge makes good for sitting on when you're feeling lightheaded...but i may look into one of those stools...i've been trying to take in alot more calories since that day and was actualy able to spend time in the shower saturday and shave my legs for the first time in a week...haha...kinda felt obligated to even if i was dizzy...my boyfriend was coming up to visit and it's a little too hot outside for pants...anyway...i thought about taking a shower tonight but i did some swimming earlier and that burnt off calories i probably needed so i may wait or try to eat some more...anyway...maybe 6 days after surgery is a bad day in the time period when your body adjusts to the new diet...who knows...that is very coincidental though... --ashley > That is so strange that you said that about being so dizzy on > Thursday.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2005 Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 Connie, I never thought of the plastic footstool as a shower aid, that's a great idea, cheaper than a bath chair, and useful afterwards (I have one for my car so we can reach the roof rack for traveling, and it's also helpful for my mother as she's short and has trouble getting into the car - it's a small SUV). Only problem would be getting up, it's still kind of low, but as you said, it's better than sitting on the tub floor. > That is so strange that you said that about being so dizzy on > Thursday.
