This Christmas, my family and I decided that we all wanted to chip in on a big gift for my Grandma. She’s turning 85 the week before and although she is still relatively healthy (and happy), it’d be nice to help her remain that way. Recently, she broke her hip while doing underwater aerobics and has been confined to a wheelchair temporarily. It was quite a scary mishap but she’s a trooper about it and we want to do her a favor by buying her something that she can really enjoy and use for years to come.
We weren’t sure at first what to get her. Someone first suggested some grips around the house and on the bathtub floor so that she wouldn’t slip and hurt herself. Then that eventually expanded to the genius idea for a brand new walk-in bathtub that is equipped with everything she would ever need in the bathing experience. It was my job to search online for the best fit for my Grammie and I took the task rather seriously. I checked out all the sites as well as ratings for those manufacturers. The best one I found, by far, was one at Simply Bathtubs which has a fantastic selection of all sorts of bathtubs. The walk in bathtub that really caught my eye was a 26-inch model that was said to hold up to 42 gallons of water. Constructed with utmost respect for those who are disabled, this walk in bathtub has a comfortable raised curved seat which allows the bather to easily stand up and sit down when they want. The best part of it was that it has a hydrotherapy whirlpool bathtub system so that you can have the ultimate luxury treatment. I imagined Grammie just soaking blisfully in a hot bath while the water swirled around. I really can’t wait for her to see her new present!
