This review is from: Moen DN7025 Home Care Adjustable Tub And Shower Seat, White (Tools & Home Improvement)
It was suggested to me to get a shower chair before my recent knee surgery (which requires 6 weeks no weight bearing on crutches), which was great advice by the way. Also, someone told me that you could just go in the shower on crutches which is bad advise by the way, nearly slipped once when the rubber on the bottom of my crutches was wet and also standing and balancing on crutches requires additional energy than just standing in a shower. Especially great to have in the week following surgery when you are likely to be dizzy or tired (even if you if you are in good health, experienced with crutches, and have no issues with anastesia like myself). Purchased this particular one after reading reviews of others and also due to the price point (be aware that the local pharmacy had a a better price listed on their website on a model that they showed to have available in store, but at the local pharmacy the price was much higher). Showering 2 days after I was home from the hospital would not have been possible without this shower chair and was a huge step in allowing me to feel better post surgery. My second attemp to shower (4 days post surgery) I was having a fairly bad morning and for some reason got really weak and would have fallen on crutches if I had not had his to rest on in the shower and regain my composure. This was much bigger than I expected, despite reading it in the reviews on how large it was, but it still fit okay in my stall stand up shower. My husband put it together and it seemed to go together easily and quickly and we set it to the highest setting so that I could sit confortably and reach the soaps, etc that we store higher. Was kind of worried about the stability side to side due to some reviews of other problems with models like thia where the handles extend beyond the sides, but so far even entering and sitting on it from the side, this has not been an issue to me. I should also note that my husband moves it out of the shower when he is showering and never thinks about putting it back for me and showering is one time I like to have a little privacy and prefer not to have to call him in to move it back for me and so far it has not been difficult for me to grab it by the side handle and move it back into the shower while on crutches.
