As a senior, i would like to just soak in the tub occasionally, but find it very distressful getting out of the tub. i am alone. Now, I have some leverage on my left side, where 'bath fitters' installed a bar on the wall...but its the right side where i have no leverage at all. I know if i did, then there would be no problem. Can anyone suggest possibly installing a bar or something on the right side of the tub? Or know of something that i could put on the right side that would give me leverage? Thanks

There are devices you can sit on and it will lower you into the water,
then lift you up again. They are cleverly designed so that you only
lose about an inch of water depth. I've seen them on the web. I'll try
to find some.

You probably dont' need this now but in 20 years we both will.

I like to take a tub bath every day.
