Took a Bath

[Guest guest]

Well, I broke down and took a bath tonight as was suggested

for easing the aches of RA……..LOL  Actually, the first bath in this

apartment in 15 ½ years!  Not exactly a hot tub, but it works.

I bought one of those attachments that clamps on the side of

the tub so I could grab on to get up and down – it still wasn’t

easy with my bad leg, but I did it.  And since it’s right next to the

toilet, it will help me when the RA flares and I have trouble getting up or

down on the toilet.  God, I sound like I’m 90 years old!

Anyway………I managed to stay in the tub 10

or 15 minutes.  I set up the notebook computer and put a movie on.  However, it

was hard to hear since I have an exhaust fan that I can’t shut off and it’s

so freakin loud!  I started sweating from the heat and wasn’t all that

comfortable so my first bath was cut short.

So – next time……….candles so I can

turn off the lights with the exhaust fan.  A tub pillow would help too.  I’ll

get the hang of this yet!
