The easiest way to avoid regrets is to ask yourself this question, "If not now, when?" It's a powerful way to put life and our decisions about how we spend our time into perspective"

Paula Posted by Cindyh on 4/29/2025, 2:10 pm Did you get your Bidet installed??

I did Posted by Paula on 4/29/2025, 8:40 pm, in reply to "Paula" Bill had to get the old seat off and a neighbor has to connect one thing but I did the rest myself. My bathroom is tiny so it was a pain but proud of myself. Had leaks when I first turned the back on and sort of flooded the bathroom (x2 LOL) but I've got a working bidet. It has an outlet for hot water but I'd need a plumber to come in to make that happen. I've only used it once. Water is definitely chilly but my biggest thing is I don't like having a wet butt! After surgery, I won't be able to reach behind me to dry my bum. I guess I'll just have to sit on a towel and wiggle a little bit! Krista, it's called a Swash.

I’m glad Posted by Cindyh on 4/30/2025, 12:30 pm, in reply to "I did" You got it on despite the problems!! I’m sure I would have had the same.

Oh DARN! Posted by Krista on 4/30/2025, 9:00 am, in reply to "I did" I wish you had gotten the warm water / heated seat one. It dries you completely and everything!

It would have cost a lot to add Posted by Paula on 4/30/2025, 9:19 am, in reply to "Oh DARN!" an outlet to my bathroom and reroute the hot water supply line. If I had a Ray, maybe, not so much! The only outlet is high on the wall by the light switch.

We were able to Posted by Krista on 4/30/2025, 3:55 pm, in reply to "It would have cost a lot to add " drill a hole through bathroom wall into kitchen fortunately! I know some people even use extension cords

I thought about an extension cord Posted by Paula on 4/30/2025, 4:03 pm, in reply to "We were able to " but it would have to run above the sink or beneath. Neither were good options plus I'd still need a plumber. The way I see it, the bidet will only be a necessity until I'm healed. Then, I'll be able to resume my regular way of doing things, using it only when I want to.

Maybe, maybe not Posted by Delta on 4/30/2025, 11:21 pm, in reply to "I thought about an extension cord " I can't stand to use the bathroom without one now.

You do get used to them Posted by Cindyh on 5/1/2025, 1:04 am, in reply to "Maybe, maybe not" John hates to go without one!

Just get you a Posted by Delta on 4/30/2025, 1:59 am, in reply to "I did" few brown, thin, light weight towels. Put them between your legs like a horse and pull back and forth.

Oh my!! Posted by Cindyh on 5/1/2025, 1:05 am, in reply to "Just get you a " That was a visual lol. When I had shoulder surgery I laid a towel on my bed for the wet behind lol

Lol Posted by Paula on 4/30/2025, 9:38 am, in reply to "Just get you a " If I was stranded on a desert island, I'd pick you to be with me. You'd figure out a way to do everything! My mom was like that. 2nd grade education but common sense and practical solutions for everything!

LOL I have lots of Posted by Delta on 4/30/2025, 2:42 pm, in reply to "Lol" ideas. Some don't work, and some are just facetious like this since I am more of a smart ass than a real thinker these days, but on second thought, this suggestion might work or cut your towels into strips. I had to make a lot of spur-of-the-moment pivots at several of the jobs I held through the years, so I tend to look for answers first, even if they are not practical, it keeps me from having high anxiety in situations.

Paula Posted by Beverly on 4/30/2025, 1:26 am, in reply to "I did" That's wonderful. I'm so glad... you are almost there.

WOOHOO! Posted by Krista on 4/29/2025, 8:05 pm, in reply to "Paula" I missed this! What kind did you order>

Yes, Inquiring minds want to know Posted by Delta on 4/29/2025, 4:06 pm, in reply to "Paula"
