Yup.

The whole washing waist length hair, 6'2 body, actually REACHING my feet...and FORGET shaving! It takes an hour just to shave! It's all such a freakin' ordeal and there's NOT enough ROOM!!! I'm always banging into the shower head and getting the curtain stuck to me!

(i'll admit it, i haven't shaved all winter and i don't care.)

((correction: i care now that it's getting nicer out and i want to shed my winter clothes, but i could give it up forever and not care, and it doesn't bother the old man either))

B2Y- I am with you on the walk in shower! I just have to actually START the job of doing the bathroom makeover and I WILL have one with the built in bench and the shower HOSE along with the one on the wall that we do NOT have to duck to get under!

(i'll be showering outside for the summer and I WILL have room out there!)

SAS (shower avoidance syndrome)..LOL, Cindy!!

Well, since I have a new bathroom and a new hand held shower thingy, I take a shower more often, but it is still damn hard to get er done without killing myself..

The shaving thing..well I'm blonde and not at all hairy, so I don't worry about it in the winter. I found a new gadget, and I can just rub the hair off my legs. It's great....no more shaving. I forget what it's called??

It's just my DH and me at home now and I usually take a shower while he is at work so I leave the bathroom door open and that keeps the bathroom a little cooler. A freind of mine made me one of those head wraps you put on your wet hair and I keep that on until my body is cooled down enough to dry my hair. Plus I put on a night gown right after I lightly dry off so i don't have to deal with clothes until I have the energy. I don't want to sit on my lliving room furniture while my body is still a little damp so I usually go play some computer games with a ceiling fan on. I must admit those are my lowest scores but it helps me cool down so I can dry my hair. And if I really need it I set up a small fan on me while I dry my hair. My DH just doesn't understand why I need to keep my hair cut short. I don't think he would read all these comments if I printed it off but I wish he would.

Hey, woman! Been wondering where you were!

And now I know: you're in the shower!

Yeah, me too. I like being clean, but I don't enjoy the process.


I'll tell you one thing that I really love about showering. I installed a gizmo on the wall that holds my shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel. All I have to do is push a button to dispense them! No more fumbling with bottles that are hard to open and squeeze. I got it at Home Depot for $20 and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!!

Showers make me feel so dragged out & dizzy..And I don't even use much hot water anymore. I gave up blow drying my hair a couple years ago. It's really thick and almost down to my waist, so way too much work. Wish they had those cool sonic showers like on Star Trek..

When I took a shower in the regular shower, I was so exhausted and hot afterwards I'd get to my room, lie down on the bed for awhile until I got some strength back, Now I have a huge roll in handicapped shower, DH rolls me in, transfers me to shower chair, later I'm gotten back into chair, can do Makeup and hair now ok. I sit through everything now, but actually get more done. I can finally have hot showers again, I'm sitting down already!!!

I can't take a hot shower. My shower is lukewarm. Sounds funny but that is all that my body can stand. It's the same if I soak my feet with Epsom Salts. The water is lukewarm or the feet go crazy. I need to be very careful as I can't feel the water temperature that well either. Really warm/hot water would wipe me out as well. It can relax the muscles way too much. An OT told my support group that. True for anyone with a neuromuscular syndrome. And I only do a very short shower.

I used to wash my hair in the shower but quit that long ago. I cannot stand there that long or for that matter be able to without hanging on to a bar. Sitting isn't really an option. I do the hair washing in the sink. I'd love to have a walk in shower. Maybe some day.

I do love the feeling of a clean body after the shower. It can be soothing at that.

I gotta get me one of them all in one soap dispensers. I dont use Liquid soap because it has Sodium lauryl sulfate in it, and bar soap doesnt. So, i just need a shampoo dispenser. Maybe I can velcro a clothes pin on the wall , and clip the bottom of my shampoo tube.

oh gosh! look at what time it is. time to get back in the shower.

My Olhipie always wants me to take a shower because it will make me feel better...so he says. It wears me out.

I do like the shower after I'm done its just getting me in. I'm like Snoopy, I do it all everyday....

I do love to just put one leg up on the shower seat and let water as hot as I can take it and stand there for a few minutes. We call it warming all the metal in my back...cooking me from the inside out!!!

I have very oily hair so washing it is a must do everyday.

There should be a shower like they have on the Jetson's...remember...? Couldn't find a picture of them showering....

SAS.....ROTFLMAO, Cindy! The whole process drags every ounce of energy I have. Make up? Te he, I do that maybe once a week. I live in a hot and humid place so I have to force myself to do it every other day.

But it's pool season now soooo now I can get in and chlorinate myself and rinse off with the hose after, ta da, done! LOL
