Afternoon,
Fam…
So, the crip
has three ways to shower: a shower chair, a bench, or nothing. Each crip’s different and can do things
differently depending on what he/she sits on.
As close as Joey and I am, we’re totally different taking showers.
Lady’s
first, Joey’d rather sit on the shower floor more than anything. She has more mobility to reach stuff. She CAN sit on a bench, because she’s got
balance to sit as long as the bench has a back.
HOWEVER, on the bench, the way she has to sit, she can’t bend enough to
reach her feet. She also says, the bench
needs to have a hole underneath for her to reach her parts, BUT, I’ve never
seen a bench with a hole.

I, on the
other hand, use a shower chair for the back and sides, because my balance ain’t
that great; hence, I hate benches, which I’ve used. It was against the back wall, which was a
plus, but if I lost my balance anyway, it was a bad day for me. Plus, benches tend to be skinny…like those
damned examination beds at doctors’ offices.
When I was younger, I used to sit on the floor of the bathtub, but I was
85-100 lbs. lighter, so people could lift me then.
So,
inquiring minds want to know.
Be good to
each other.
