Just had that heart attack moment when you slip

[Hormonal23]

Coming out of the bath and I slipped but at the last second managed to lean forward and stretch my arm to the wall. I was home alone and have stupidly hard tiled floor had to go an sit down for 2 seconds to catch my breath. I’m so clumsy it’s happened many times with me tripping over or up things.

Yeah. My oh and dad were away for 4 days last week and I really wanted a bath, but I'm clumsy AF so stuck to the shower.

Didn't want them coming back to my broken swollen corpse in the bath.

Maybe put a chair next to the bath before you get in. You can hold onto the back of the chair as you climb out.

I was staying at a premier inn on holiday in Weymouth. I'd climbed in the bath to have a shower as I wanted to rinse the sand off my body but didn't want to wet my hair.
Unfortunately there was no way to reach the taps without getting my hair wet whilst stood in the bath, so I tried climbing out of the bath with the water still running. I slipped but luckily managed to grab hold of the bath, though not before bruising the inside of my thigh with a long thick bruise down to my knee. It was very sore for a few days and took weeks to disappear.
Don't know why I didn't just shout DH to turn the tap off for me.

And yes I'm also very clumsy

Get some of these but make sure they're firmly suctioned before you grab them!!

I don’t have baths any more because I’m worried about slipping. I used to love a soak.
