Do I Prefer a Shower or A Bath?

The June 27, 2013 prompt for "Blogging Circle of Friends Prompt Forum"  is
Do you prefer showers or baths?

Do I prefer a shower or a bath? At this point it does not matter what I prefer because there is absolutely now way I can safely take a bath in this house. The tub, that is in the bathroom next to the master bedroom is one of those sunken tubs with steps descending into it. It can also be used as a shower or it could if the tiles were not coming off the west wall. The only option I have is a roll in shower, which is safe for anyone to use especially if you have a shower seat.

At my age, I think I prefer a shower because it is easier to get into and out of shower then it is a tub. There used to be a usable tub in this house, but when they redid the hall bathroom they put in the roll in shower. At the time we had a tub, I had difficulty getting Mom in and out of it, while I had problems getting out of the tub. As long as I have a shower chair, I prefer a shower. I might like a bath if I had a walk in bathtub.

With a bathtub,
it is getting up
that is the issue.

Will my knees give out
before my butt
is high enough to sit
on the side of the tub.

I don't have this problem
when I take a shower;
if I am afraid of falling,
I have a shower chair
and my butt
is always higher then the chair.

He: Sweet Hear, I'm going to take a shower!

She: Don't forget to bring it back when you're finished.
