I can step in the bath easily, but have difficulty getting out sometimes, because of arthritic shoulder joints. It would be far easier to take a shower.
To overcome the problem of not being able to put my body weight on my arms, I have developed a method of getting out, whereby I swish from side to side and a big 'swish' spins me over onto my knees - which is fine except that I do have arthritis in my knees too (but to a much lesser extent).

I hope you all find my bathing antics amusing - It isn't fun getting old
but I 'improvise' well don't I?
Sounds like a wet room would be ideal for you, hope you get one. You may joke about it but bet deep down you dread getting out of the bath!!!
