So, I've taken my first shower in our new washroom and although it is weird to shower in a stall-like enclosure versus a bathtub, it was a nice experience. My only disappointment is the water pressure. To respect environmental and water-conservation standards, the contractor had to install a low-flow showerhead so the water pressure kinds of sucks... but is was really nice to have a shower and not worry about what water is leaking into the basement.
We did discover that there is a difference between a shower curtain and a bath curtain (shower curtain is longer) and that we will need to purchase said shower curtain as well as a squeegee-type implement to wipe the floor. This will ensure that the water that does come out of the shower stall doesn't stay on the tiles but is returned to the stall. Would have been nice to know about this first but...
The next test will be giving Ronnie as shower. We have the new seat without a seat belt as the CLSC are worried that she will slide and suffocate despite our insistence that she is NEVER, EVER left alone in the bath. Apparently they are not worried at all that she will fall over/out of the seat and conk her skull open on the floor. Frankly that's more likely to happen than her suffocating because of a seat belt. I suppose their stupidity can be blamed in ignorance but I wish they or whoever the bosses are didn't make blanket decisions based on minimal information. There is a big difference between a geriatric person who is loosing their skills and a child that is gaining skills. And child that has no sense of danger - none whatsoever. Whoever said ignorance is bliss doens't know these idiots.
We also have a really cool light.
"til next time.
