Fromal's family plans to add railings and a tub chair in her bathroom.

I urge all Freepers with elderly parents to not wait for a tragedy, add the rails now!

My brother and I had them installed for our late mother...they were a godsend. Even taking a shower can be difficult or even dangerous for the elderly, particularly when they lose a lot of their mobility and strength.

My parents move here last year and bought a condo. Mom is 82, Dad is 85. We insisted the builder install the bars in both bathrooms. Beats the hell out of a broken hip.

My recollection is that they were downright cheap too!

I had a neighbor who fainted in the shower. She was found days later, water running all over her house. She was elderly, sick, and died of a brain tumor in the hospital a few weeks later. Smoker.

So sad.

Sorry about your mom, but the pickin's slim these days for a bit of lightheartedness.
