Taking a shower, soaking in the tub, and using the toilet safely and independently are things many people take for granted. But what happens when you have a physical injury or disability that requires extra support to use the bathroom?
During my femur fracture recovery, some of the most helpful mobility aids were the ones in my bathroom. Without them, I would have been entirely dependent on help and wouldn’t have managed more than a bed wash with a wet soapy flanel. My beloved shower- and toilet aids made a safe hygiene routine possible.
Today I’ll be sharing the mobility aids that gave me back a sense of independence, privacy, and dignity on the toilet and in the tub.
