I am over the top anxious. I'll preface that with the fact that I overthink EVERY thing. Friends, who are contractors, are remodeling our bathroom. I trust them implicitly. I just don't trust myself to know or recognize what I need. I've been "behind" in planning all along because I don't love dwelling on the inevitable future. Can ya'all give me thoughts?
I have a *very* slow progression so I'll use this bathroom for a while. DH says, "Let's just take the space from the main bath and give it to the Master." Currently our master bath is little and the little works FOR me. I can still get into the bathroom, get myself to the potty, and I have a grip bar that is directly in front of me that I use to pull myself to my feet. (My legs are mostly affected right now, but the right arm is beginning to really go. I'm left handed.) I fear robbing the main and because i have the grip to my left, not being able to get up. Rationally, I realize this time is coming, but I'm resistant to hurrying it along.
The plumber comes today to make his plans. Wanna take a look at this and say, "Hey, looks great," or "Consider this..."
Zero entry - everything tile. Toilet is regular with the addition of the Swash 1000 bidet seat and a plug in for it behind. The sink is ADA accessible with cabinets to the side instead of under. Shower head will be a slider - no doors on the shower obviously.
Do I want a toilevator? My understanding is toilet + toilevator + Swash is that it will be too tall for the eventual shower/toilet chair? Feeling anxious. It's our biggest (and most expensive) undertaking so far and I am worried about making mistakes or not thinking it through enough. Thanks all!
