Barb. I agree to getting grab bars for support. There is also a bar you can buy that fits down on the side of your tub for added support getting in and out that may help. The bars today are not your institutional ones anymore and come in a variety of styles to choose from.

The rollator is also a great idea and one Jim refused. It cost him many falls and compound fractures due to him being too stubborn to use it. I am telling you the truth. If we had not lived with him there is no telling how he would have helped himself when he was too injured to get back up. Worse, sometimes he fell in the shower and we'd have to help him up naked and all.

If you find you need it, use it and don't be ashamed or get down on yourself. Ask yourself this question. Is it worse to use a rollator at night or to call someone to pick you up because you injured yourself and can't get up?

Don't take my advice to heart, I am a carepartner and can't help myself. lol
