We're in the middle of making our bathroom accessible and while searching for a "barrier free" entry shower pan, we started to get quotes that were in the thousands.
Just for the pan! A 48 x 48 barrier free fiberglass shower plan.
So I started calling the companies that make these special shower floors to find out what the deal was on the cost. At Best Bath in Boise, Idaho, I talked with the representative who directed me to one of their distributors, Charles Ballard, in Indianapolis, Indiana.
He's an honest businessman who sold one to me for under $700 (plus he threw in the barrier strip, epoxy, and drain.) Even he was surprised how high the quotes were when I told him. He runs an online medical supply company so if you see his name, I can vouch for his honesty and integrity.
When the milestones, the charts, and the sequence in development are not there for our children, parents and caregivers like us set out on our own pathway. Elisabeth's story is about searching for the X factor. The X factor that was discovered only in hindsight beginning with an emotional bond and a fleeting but tangible smile to mean "yes" and a flinch in eyebrows to mean "no."
