Re: shower
There came a time when my arthritic hips wouldn't let me get in or out of the bath that's when we replaced the bath with the walkin shower so now I can shower every day as much as I like safely and without my joints screaming at me. It's also the warmest room in the house22-01-2015, 02:34 PM

Re: shower
It was young Alice, nothing to do with pavements all to do with the job I did for 20yrs that wore out my joints and happily I had a very sympathetic surgeon
, its ongoing I'm afraid my other hip and knees and various other joints are all affected but you wouldn't know it to look at me.. I don't let it stop me doing 'stuff' or give in to it although I know it has slowed me down.. I have medication that helps .

Re: shower
I havent had a bath in 25yearsI love my shower but when my dog had a back injury we bought a whirlpool bath and gave him hydrotherapy 3 or 4 times a week.. It helped him regain muscle strength.. The funny thing was we got it from a man who was ripping out his bathroom and putting in a shower because his wife had suffered a back injury and could no longer get in the bath!

I think my dogs deserve anything I can give them they mean the world to me..
This is the dog concerned and there is a picture of him in the bath among this slide show.. As he got better he just loved to be in the bath trying to bite the bubbles!
