Well, your daily ablution sounds down right treacherous. I think I would be forced to take sponge baths and wash my hair under the shower while standing on the bathroom floor. Of course, vertigo might still be a problem but better than twisting oneself into a pretzel and risking life and limb. You present a very humorous picture here. It gave me several good laughs.

Ciao !
Men love to use baths .. like the ancient Romans , Greeks and the Japanese. And even elves ( biggrin)
You have a gift in capturing the readers attention . Your description of your daily challenge..ordeal with the mini shower recess in your flat had me in stitches..
You do well to put little weight on the rack , it most probable will end up in your hand .
Love the part when you are blind and your vertigo forces you to grab the base of the tub like a monkey holding on for life ... your toes gripping the floor with curled appreciation.
And the part where you bend over and try to wedge the soap as best as possible between toes and around the edges of the feet. I feel a bum but yes , I was laughing my head off.
All the dreaded accidents you imagine... head trauma , injuries and paramedics coming , those parts had me worried.
I have a Roman bath tub .. so I sit with my knees close to my coconuts but I can stand snd take a shower if I wish.
I would do without the shower curtain and just put a towel in front of shower.
Maybe you should invest in a small rubber anti slip shower mat with those suction cups on the bottom. You have a lot of soapy foam which is very slippery.
Jokes apart , you really could hurt yourself seriously.

I love your perspective on my writings. You are very funny and insightful
Comment from Douglas Goff
Okay this is hilarious. I laughed out loud on this line:
Being bent over isn`t the safest position. No pun intended.
Having served in Central America, I know exactly what you men. Everything down there seems to be built for five foot 100 pound people. Not good for we six foot giants!

Yes, you are so right. Thanks for the review and stars.
Comment from Bill Schott
This story, The Door of Terror, is hilarious as you describe in great detail the successful evacuation on each day a shower is taken. I could imagine it all as I think of our own slippery exit from our shower. Fun reading.
