I love showers, but by virtue of my back and spinal problems, and high blood pressure, AND now my right leg randomly losing musle tone/strength..

I mostly end up bathing. I've fallen/fainted a few times in hot showers and was lucky I did not seriously injure myself. I definetly even with bathing have to watch water temp, though i am usually ok with hot baths - it seems to be hot showers that just suck the life out of me and make me dizzy. Doc says its a blood pressure issue, either its driving my pressure way up or way down and its a shock to my body.

I couldnt bathe OR shower for TWO MONTHS when I broke my leg. Dear God I cant tell you how awful it was. I felt so completely dirty even with washing daily and sometimes multiple times.

I am thinking about investing in a shower chair. Sometimes in the past I have just sat down on the floor of the tub, and had a shower, but the water is not very intense that way. A shower chair would be awesome:
