Bliss..... via a roll of cling film!

1 minute read time.

As some of you know I currently have a pot on my foot, a result of a slip at the swimming pool. I have dispensed withthe crutches and now use a stick, but actually could manage with out that.I have got used to the idea of going to bed with the equivalent of a shoe on, and even the delighful felt overshoe (!) now longer bothers me. The one thing that I have missed more than anything is a wallow in the bath. I am definitely not a shower person. Well yesterday I had had enough of flannel washes, I needed a good hot soak. So armed with a roll of cling film I went for it. Half a roll was wrapped around the pot. I gingerly climbed into the bath and managed to sit down and turn on the tap and added the bubbles.  Bliss!!!  A long soak, and a couple of chapters of a book later it was time I got out. Empty the bath.... now what next?  I did have visions of being trapped there and having to get husband to phone the firebrigade  but after a little battle I did manage to clamber up and out! Oh it was soo lovely. I can't wait to do it again!!

  • What a wonderful picture you paint! Because of my dodgy spine I have problems getting in and out of the bath too so I have a shower instead. When I have the occasional bath I have visions of someone with a crane hoisting me out!

    hi - i know just how you feel - i have just treated myself and the little one to a week in turkey after just finishing my chemo and rt - we had only been there three nights when i fell over in the bathroom and broke my foot and my ankle - bloody hell- anyway - today they have taken the pot off and put a support slipper/shoe on which i can take off when needs be - oh what bliss - just to be able to have a bath like you say and to be aboe to move my foot - it was like trying to walk in a ski boot all of the time - hope your foot heals soon - i was told i will have to wait about 6 weeks before if feels any better - take care - kaz - xoxo
