We live in a
world where we hear about new diseases and ailment almost on a daily basis.
Being a baby Boomer, my ears perk up every time I hear a story of a friend or
family members who now has a debilitating disease.

| English: Main symptoms of Multiple sclerosis. Sources are found in |
We 've all
heard of M.S., Multiple Sclerosis. More
than 2.5 million people, worldwide, are thought to have it. We also know there is no known cure, as of
yet.
M.S. is a
chronic condition that affects the central nervous system, the brain, spinal
cord, and optic nerves. The damage done
by the disease creates scars, lesions, that can actually be seen with the use
of medical devices. The word
"multiple" indicates a number of scars.
Our central
nervous system is made up of nerve cells that send signals to each other. Each cell is covered by a protective coating
called "myelin." This coating
acts as a conductor in helping signals to move at high speed from one end of
the nerve cell to the other. In M.S.,
the disease damages the myelin in a process called "demyelization ." The result is scars and lesions that lead to
a breakdown in signal transmissions.
This can lead to discomfort, pain, and possible permanent disability.
We recently
had a couple come into our showroom to view our Walk In Tubs. The wife had M.S. She was helped into the tub, sat down, and
leaned back. "How much is this
one," she asked? Her husband
quickly shot back, "It doesn't matter sweetie. Are you comfortable?" "Yes, very. And we haven't even turned on the hot water
or the jets, "she said.
From a
commercial perspective, it was an easy sale.
From the husband's perspective, it was an easy purchase. He had witnessed how much she had
suffered. The joint pain and muscle
stiffness had been almost unbearable. Plus,
she had fallen twice trying to get into her traditional tub. Buying this tub for his wife was an easy
choice. He wanted everything on it: Air jetted hydrotherapy, water jetted
whirlpool massage and a heater for keeping the water from getting cold.
They had
driven quite a way to get to our showroom.
He wanted it shipped to them as soon as possible. He would have his local plumber friend to
install it for him. When they
left, all seemed right with the world.
Maybe there's not a cure for M.S. just yet, but we can certainly treat
the painful symptoms and prevent hazardous falls . There are many chronic ailments and diseases
afflicting our senior population today. Many more than it the past. It's great
to know that a walk in tub can help many of those people, especially the one we
love.
Customer testimonial for in a Walk-in Tub
That couple
got a great price on a walk in tub that day, but it really didn't matter to the
husband. He would have paid more. His motivation was to help is wife. It was
all done in the name of love.
In this
article, I told you the story of a couple where the wife has Multiple Sclerosis
and the husband knew that the right walk-in tub would make a difference in her
life. She found the tub very comfortable and they purchased it with all the
bells and whiles. They got a great price on their new walk-in tub and the
husband got the satisfaction of helping his wife feel safer and better as well.
