The Showerhead

Well, the in-laws were in town a few weeks ago, and that means one thing in particular...free stuff.

One thing that we (Rho in particular) have wanted for some time is a detachable showerhead (you know...one attached to a hose that goes to the water source). Because of the location of Rho's dialysis catheter, her doctors told her that it was not a good idea to take a standard shower (water in catheter=bad). Apparently, a compromise was reached on a detachable showerhead. So, when the in-laws offered to buy us some stuff for the apartment, that was the first thing Rho mentioned. (I wanted a computer desk, but that is my birthday present when my mom comes to Philadelphia in October. )

So, we headed to Bed, Bath, and Beyond, and found a nice simple device for about $20 or so. And it's pretty neat. It has two settings--standard and pulsating/jet spray. It's kinda weird b/c it always pulsates...you can see it, but don't feel it when you have it on standard setting. And you can tell that our old showerhead (which had probably been there since Jesus was a child) was ready to be retired. When I first used it, I thought I was going to drown.

As an added bonus, we got a new bathmat. We had a plastic natural suction one that we bought when we first moved here. Now we have this PVC one that feels like an air sole in a shoe...very comfortable...and it stays in place (unlike our old one). Happiness all around.

(What were you expecting? A Ham-fisted thread? )
