I have a shower chair but I’ve been craving a hot bath for a couple of years. I knew there was a risk that I wouldn’t be able to get out - at least not safely, but I’ve had this beautiful, very expensive bottle of crystal clear water additive to use for ultimate bathing comfort.

Hey, there! I’m not being hard on myself. I survived it 😊. I just can’t believe what I put myself through so I could soak in laundry conditioner. But I thought it was hilarious. 😁

Welll that was entertaining? Why dont u use your oxygen in the tub? Get some extenders and keep it on and that might help. I used to be a home care attendant abd assisted lots of people with oxygen to bath. Works great! Make sure u read the label and dont usr laundry products. Hell i used dish soap on my hair before well save that for another time !! I bet u smelled great. Breath easy
Oh Well. You might as well laugh:-)
Great story, and great attitude......laughing at yourself is a sign of self-awareness and possessing a good sense of humor. Thanks for a good laugh!
@A MyCOPDTeam Member.. Hey lady- don’t be so hard on yourself! You were craving a warm bubbly soak…🫧🛁 and you have every right to the simple pleasures of life!🙂
Maybe just plan it out a bit more and try again…
Maybe add grab bars where you can reach them when in the tub?? Have Hubbie assist you getting in and out- slowly…
But thanks for bravely sharing your funny (though terrifying) adventure! Bubble On Karen!
And breathe easy! We’ve got you!💕
