Bath Tales

When we  travel, I enjoy soaking in a Jacuzzi bath in our room, especially when I remember to bring bubble bath soap.  In the past my baths have been a problem - mainly getting out of the tub.  Because my knees don’t bend well, I’ve struggled to get out of  tubs when I’m done.  A couple of days ago, I was dangerously close to having to call 911.  

I took a bath early in the week and had difficulty getting out of the tub, but after trying different approaches, I found one that worked and made it out.  Next time was another story.  My proven approach didn’t work.  I kept slipping back in.  After about ten minutes, I was getting worried.  I called Aloma and told her we might have to call the resort office and have some men come over to lift me out.  I showed her how I got out earlier in the week and slipped again.  She suggested washing the bubbles off on my handholes so I wouldn’t slip.  I did it and got out - and gave my best Tarzan call.

Aloma wouldn’t go near the tub but took a shower after we arrived.  I heard a yell and ran into the bathroom.  “What’s wrong?”

She opened the shower door.  “I didn’t realize there was a front and back shower head and when water hit my back it scared me.”  We both laughed.

Later, we talked and wondered if other couples have such adventures in their bathrooms.
