12. The jetted tub was too big.

My hypothesis is it was an unethical sales person. When he realized he would lose the commission, he measured the moisture - exactly where the pipes/faucet are. He showed me the readings and then placed the moisture measured on himself. He said to see how much moisture there was and it was really bad. He said we needed to replace the tub I have with another regular tub, because that would fit in there, but a jetted tub would not.

My husband just died after a two year battle with cancer. It started in his liver, went to his spine, then his shoulder and finally his neck. He had back surgery in March. He could not get wet. That tub was one of the most intimate moments I had with him since his diagnosis. He sat on the edge. I was in the tub and I gave him a sponge bath. He commented on the intimacy. He felt it, too.
