I'm with you guys, I used to love showers and baths. Bathing is out, because I can't get myself back up out of the tub, I don't want DH hurting himself trying to help me out, and we don't own a CRANE yet! 
Can't stand up for long in the shower, so I sit on a Rubbermaid stool that I find is easier than a chair and doesn't make me feel as handicapped. It's thigh-high, and very stable. Then, I use the grab bars attached to the shower walls to stand back up again, and hold onto until I'm safely out.
What a royal pain. But, I must have my nightly shower. I can't stand to get into bed without it.
My hair is very short, no problem there, and I love it.
After my shower, I put on my sweats or gown depending on the temp, then go sit in my recliner and read or watch a little TV. That gives me a chance to rest up before the going-to-bed routine!
