When I first found out I had cancer and was doing treatment for it taking a bath or shower just left me so tired so I started taking showers with a chair. - I would put a towel down in the bottom of the tub and put t he chair on top of the towel then while sitting adjust the water and then turn on the shower. When I was done I had not a towl but a folded sheet to wrap up in while I sat there taking my time if sliding my feet over the tub side. Being already raised to the right height because of sitting on the chair it wasnt too hard to do this. Then I would transfer myself from the chair in the tub to a dry chair outside the tub and sit there drying off and getting dressed. then using my crutches off I went to bed or the couch for a nap. Even now because of my cerebral palsy eith muscle spasms sometimes I have to have things set up so that I go from tub to chair to crutches from the bath or shower.
