I have had my new shower for several months and have not been able to use it due to broken legs and the inaccessibility of it. Here is how I fixed the problem.
So glad you got your shower situation figured out! It's so easy to take for granted something I do every day what some people struggle to do. Thanks for sharing. ❤
Thank you for sharing. My brother has made a total of 3 roll/walk in showers his and 2 for my parents the old house then the new house. He saved them money for sure.
Redness on your leg is not normal - sign of inflammation or infection. I hope you see your orthopedic Dr at least every 2 weeks and they x-ray both legs at every visit. Because you are paraplegic is not an excuse for inadequate care. (Retired RN). My tib-fib fracture was open so surgery was required. Infection in bones is very difficult to treat so I watched my leg like a hawk and I called that surgeon's office with any infection signs. My fracture also involved a crushed ankle so I could not have any weight bearing on my injured leg until healing started. My bones did not start healing until I had toe touch weight bearing. Even a bone stimulator didn't help until I had light weight bearing. So happy for you with the shower issue resolved! 🚿 Water is such a gift from God!
Thanks for sharing this with us. I'm sorry about the mismeasurement. I'm sure you were frustrated by that. No matter how much we says "Measure twice - cut once" there are still things we assume and sometimes we get it wrong. I'm really happy you were able to find a solution you could make work for you!
Why didn't you put in a open shower so you could transfer to a shower chair that's how I did to give my handicap husband a shower f t om his wheel chair
My friends put in a "roll-in" shower in their master bath to accomodate the husband's wheel chair. The shower was 8x6 feet square! They both loved that custom shower!
That's exciting!!!! Some great minds out there!!! Rubber Ducky on!!!

Thank you for the info about your expereince. I will keep a better eye on the redness and swelling.
That is a great solution, and may I say? I really love that tub. And just say you know you are such a Warrior.😊
Haha. Thanks!
Praying for your legs and your recovery and your peace of mind during these trials.
Thank you!

I was trying to keep the cost down and I really like free standing tubs. I think if I ever do this again I will put in an open shower.
@@raallen1468 Yes I will probably do something like that next time if I ever do this again.
