I too am watching for the successor to be named. An old friend of my husband was part of the process last time and this one made me think of him, he was such a good friend and a lovely man. One of those noble souls we come across every now and then. Cancer got him too, along with quite a few of our friends from those years.
Thinking of bathrooms though, and limited mobility, I think it was the grab handles and the shower chair that I was most grateful for. The grab handles especially. Just knowing they are there is confidence boosting. So much so that I found a large handle and put it on the frame by the front door which has a little step up, I find I reach for it even now, just to steady myself on some days when I'm a little more wobbly than usual. It helps cancel the fear of falling, like having a guard rail on a sloping surface...
It is all about making life easier, these little things.
