I had one of my bathrooms converted to a walk-in shower several years
ago. I had grab bars installed so that I could hold one from any
direction I am standing, and I also had a permanent seat installed. I
had reached the time when I did not feel safe sitting in a bath tub--too
easy to slip and fall when trying to get up. The walk-in shower has
given me a real feeling of security.
