Thank you so much to everyone who helped on my last post
https://steemit.com/help/@karenb54/i-really-need-your-help-i-have-no-where-else-to-go
The amount of generosity, love and kindness has overwhelmed me.
That post took so much energy to write, it was deleted so many times with tears and anger at myself. I don't like taking I would much rather be the person giving but this has come to a breaking point with me. The thought of having to go through so much pain just to feel clean was putting me trying, I use to wash my hair everyday and style it, now it gets washed once or maybe twice a week and left to dry by its self. Being able to get into a shower and wash myself as many times as I like will be amazing, it will help me so much, ease my pain and stop me worrying.
I can't thank you all enough, I want to hug every single one of you for what you have done for me and I PROMISE I WILL BE PAYING IT FORWARD ONCE I AM SORTED I will work hard in here to accomplish this.
I am arranging for for a few company's to come out and give me a quote, I got one a few months ago, they were asking for over £4000, believe me my bathroom is small. I will see what I am offered then apply the help I have been given to what I already have in my wallet I would like the job done within the next month and finished before the cold weather starts.
You have all made me feel loved, I have a warm feeling which I haven't had for a very long time, I really have friends who care and that makes me so happy. You have no idea how happy you have made me and I hope I can make you all as happy over the next few months.
I can now see a light at the end of the tunnel, I can now see my life improving making me feel better about myself and giving me less work. I will keep you informed of what's happening plus updates on when the work is getting done and its progress. Again THANK YOU so much your all amazing.
Thank you son-of-satire

Thank you so much :)
Hi Karyn
I'm so glad you've had such a great response!
I have a question: Would you consider converting your bathroom into a wet room instead of having the half-bath installed? That way you can have the freedom to wheel yourself in and out of the shower unaided and it would add to the value of your house in that a wet room is still considered quite a modern (even luxury?) room to have. It can also be done in such a way that anyone can use the bathroom so that both you and your family don't have to feel like you're constantly being reminded of having a disability. I hope that makes sense. I have lived with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome for 10 years so still a filly compared to what you have gone through, but I do understand the feeling of being constantly reminded of what you 'can't' do, as well as the stress on other family members being constantly reminded that their loved one is sick. An architect should be able to help you make the most of your space. Maybe through the help of the Steemit community we can figure out a way to get you a brilliant oasis of a bathroom built.
Much love

PS: I'm also familiar with people giving unsolicited advice so you're welcome to tell me no :)
Thank you, I have thought about a wet room alot as it would be easy in every way but I can't stand for very long so need somewhere to sit, a half bath will give me the chance too soak my pains and have the shower. :)
Ps. Or a walk in shower instead of an entire wet room.
I still need something to sit on, my knee won't allow me to stand for very long :)
It's a bit obscured behind the towels in this photo, but there is a fold down shower seat in my parents master bathroom.
But, I agree. At the end of the day nothing beats a bath :)
That looks so nice, I'll have a look around, thank you :)

I have been here a year just recently celebrated my 1st birthday with Steemit, its the best place to be, thank you :)
Congrats on sticking around for that long!

You have nothing to thank dear friend @ karenb54, you deserve it.
Have a great afternoon
Thank you @jlufer, this place amazes me :)
Sharing a load, lightens the load...Hope they give you discounts!
Thank you, I will be asking for them.
Karen, there are so many good people here. It makes me so happy to see that you've been taken care of by the community. This is what it's all about. It also shows us that there is no shame in asking for help.
Keep us informed about the bathroom, I'm sure someone here can help you get your costs down.
Much love.
Xxx
I will be making regular posts letting you all know how its going, thank you so much :)
You are welcome Karen, I trust by reward time you will have a nice extra pot to add to what you have for your bathroom reno. It's good when we see our upvotes (no matter how small) going to someone who really needs them.
I hope some users will use the upvote votes on your posts to help with your much needed reno instead of padding their own wallets.
I hope the trademen won't try to gauge you on the bill.
I will be pushing for as many bargains as I can, once I am sorted I will be repaying and paying it forward :)
Let's hope you find a decent offer and get the job done real soon. Looking forward to seeing your new bathroom!
I can't wait to feel human again, clean and refreshed without being in pain. I will keep regular posts coming :)
Here to support you!
Thank you :)
