Hazzard for seniors

I thought l had to pass this on to save someone what I went through. After a 4 week stay in a VA hospital I am back home once again


The "anti slip mat" the one that has the suction cups on 1 side is not really slip proof. ! I had 1 foot in shower on the mat and the other one out on the floor As I picked up the floor foot the mat slid back and dumped me in the shower. A bruised Left leg/groin local and some "bark" torn off the lower left leg I consider myself lucky Nothing broken or cracked.
Being 63 this was a wake up call for me.

One of these days I hope to get to conduct the first flights of the 4 Black Brants I documented over in the scratch building section

Glad you made it! None of us bounce as easily as we used to.

Thanks. Glad you survived as okay as you did.
Fortunately this apartment's fiberglass tub/shower thing has enough of a textured bottom that it is not necessary to use one of those mats.

Glad to hear it wasn't worse.

We had a house built 6 years ago and we had grab bars installed in the bathtubs and showers and I always use them. Just not worth taking a chance of slipping.
