    I also use a shower chair like you do Frankie. Thankfully I’m still independent when I shower so I don’t need much equipment.

    My wife used to use a chair. When a Dr tried to kill her she lost most of her mobility. Now we use a Hoyer with a mesh sling. She manages to do most of herself with one of those sruncci things with a long handle.

    I have chairs that are attached to my shower. I place a small towel so I don’t slip. I have a question? Why is it my symtoms are getting worse Everyday. I have been in a wheelchair for 4 years and been able to move my legs and now it seems like my legs are giving out. Has Anyone had this progressing FA like I do and if so what can I do to get my strength back? I’m really scared about this and need someone to talk to about this? Can someone please call me. 813-493-5268?
