My husband is six foot four and weighs 200 pounds. When his back gives way, he cannot shower himself. We had a 32-inch by 32-inch shower. We apply for VAC, do all the processes and the occupational therapist comes home and evaluates everything. We got a nice 40-inch by 40-inch walk-in shower, with a three-inch ledge. That means that when water hits it, it splashes out, because it's not deep enough. We have an eight-year-old and an 11-year-old. It looks like a water park after they shower in our bathroom.
When I asked if we could put on a shower door to eliminate that, they said no, that the shower was made for the veteran, and the veteran can shower with a shower curtain. We were denied. They built a $9,000 shower in our bathroom, but we need to have a shower curtain because it was built for the veteran, not for us. That puts more strain on us, because each night I have to mop and clean an entire bathroom, each time.
