Safety in the shower

    One thing I would like to talk about today is safety while bathing. A lot of people don't think of this being a big deal, but as an epileptic it is. I have heard of people having a seizure in the tub and drowning. 

 Here are some tips to keep you safe:

 1. Take a shower instead of a bath.

 2.Use a shower chair or seat in case of drop attack.

 3. If you have to take a bath make sure to have someone with you in the bathroom, I case of a seizure.

 4. Make sure to have safety bars or railings installed in your bath tub or shower, to prevent falls.

    Bath safety is important for people of all ages from children and the elderly. These products decrease the chances of falls in the bathroom.

      I agree 100% that bathroom safety is important for everyone. My blog however targets from a epileptics view point.

    I use a $7.99 white plastic chair from Walmart. I leave mine in my tub all the time. It took me 2 years to convince my 80+ year-old parents to do the chair and handle/grip bars. I sleep better knowing they have taken precautions. After Whitney Houston died in the tub and John Travolta's epileptic son died in a bathtub fall...I cried & cried & got the plastic chair. God Bless
