Bathroom Fracture, Safety Tips For Elders

How does one go about preventing these Fractures in the Bathroom?

For starters, those above 60, must realize they are not getting younger and the body has a mind of its own, it refuses, at times to obey you,

Understand this, no point in trying to look young and act young.

Our time is past.

Unless we realize this, we might be in trouble for ourselves and a nuisance to others.

Do not get up from the Bed at one stroke. wake up slowly, switch on the light and sit in the bed for a few minutes, then get down from the cot.

Preferable to avoid searching for the slippers with the feet, chances are you might slip.

Walk to the Bathroom slowly, switch on the light.

2.Advisable to have the Bathroom floor semi rough surface .

Avoid glitzy smooth surface tiles.

3.The Bathroom switch is to be fixed outside with dual control inside.

4.Switch on and Off from the outside.

5.Do not drink more water than necessary before going to Bed.

Of Bathing and Toweling

Before some one rushes to imagine that this post is about "toweling', akin to 'Thighing' in Islam, which has sexual connotations.

"“A man can quench his sexual lusts with a child as young as a baby. However, he should not penetrate. Sodomizing the baby is halal (allowed by sharia). If the man penetrates and damages the child, then he should be responsible for her subsistence all her life. This girl, however, does not count as one of his four permanent wives. The man will not be eligible to marry the girl’s sister. It is better for a girl to marry when her menstruation starts, and at her husband’s house rather than her father’s home. Any father marrying his daughter so young will have a permanent place in heaven.'

Well , this is about towelling after a Bath.

There are various ways of taking bath,

In The River, Ocean,Wells at Home,Ponds,From Buckets of Water and now Shower.

River bath is recommended, while bathing in the ocean is done occasionally in India for Religious purposes.

After bathing in the Ocean, bathing in normal water is advised.

Then people used to take bath in Ponds in the town.

There used to be at least two ponds in every India village.

One used to be located just outside the village for bathing.

Another one is in the Temple premises, used for sprinkling water on the head and washing feet before entering the Temple.

Every Temple has three things as a Rule.

Murthy(,Idol).Theertham(Pond) Vruksha (Tree)

Concurrently the practice of bath in Wells dug in Homes.

People also used to take bath by keeping the water taken from the Well in Bucket and bathe.

And there is this excellent bathing Source, bathing in water being pumped out by a Pump-set in a Filed.

And this is very refreshing to take the full force of Water gushing out of the Pump.

Now onto Toweling.

How To towel oneself after Bathing?

If you towel your head first the towel becomes quite wet and it is uncomfortable to use it for the Body.

Keeping two towels is fine , but some how the idea never appeals to me.

If you towel the body first, then water keeps on dripping onto the body.

So, take a portion of the towel, towel the head and keep the other portion to towel the Body.

Then wring the towel and use it for the Body!

And again, there are three types of Towels

Handloom Towel what is normally in use.
