Still Living, Loving & Laughing
Here are some pictures of what we did for our bathroom.
The bathroom inside dimension is 15 feet by 7 feet.
The shower is 7’ by 7’. It works perfectly.
You can see the toilet has been lifted with a toilevator and has a ToTo Washlet.
As you can see, we built the shower so it has a bit of a ramp to get in. This has worked out well, no water gets out.
With the shower being this large there is no need for a shower curtain and there is enough room for caregivers to shower me.
Here are a couple of pictures of the arms my son made for me. (Oct 2009)
They are fully adjustable and swing up out of the way. Very Strong!
There are many places that sell them for about $75.00. They are very well worth the investment.
Here is a page, on this site, that talks about the options.
How it is made.
