Beneath the Wraps

             I don’t bend so well anymore.   My left leg often hurts and I wear lifts under my right foot to even them out.   I got up at 1:30 this morning to take Bonnie out and noticed a pain in my right leg.   What was that all about?   So both of my legs were hurting and I decided that I would soak them in the tub.            The knobs for the master bath broke off a long time ago and I haven’t used the tub for a while – perhaps a couple of times before Biff and his family moved in but never while they were living here.   I did not realize how tight the bathroom was until this morning.   No wonder Biff is so happy not living here anymore! I’m wondering how they were able to get along in such a tight space.  

                When we first looked at our house, I was thrilled with the large tub in the master bedroom.   Evidently I had not even looked at the shower. The shower in my mom's house was made of pink tiles.   There was a 4 to 5 inch lip that we could step over to be in the shower.   After daddy had his strokes, we put a plastic chair in the shower and invested in a shower hose. The hose split shortly after he had passed.   It hadn't seemed like a great investment.                 Because I can't always make the time for the luxuries of a bath (not to mention the many gallons of water)   I have taken more showers. For a while I was using the shower in Jenna's bathroom.   Her tub is more shallow than the master bath, but there is definitely more floor room in the tub than there is in the master shower.      ...
