It really kind of depends. On active days, especially in the heat of summer, it could be as many as 3 showers a day. On those, "I don't feel like doing nuthin" days probably not.
He said he ‘used’ to which means past tense.
The meds I take suck the life out of me at times.
No. It’s meds for cPTSD to help keep me calm. They work well but some of the side effects can really suck. Like an extra 40 pounds and a total lack of energy. My husband tells me that the other stuff doesn’t matter. It’s my mind being calm and stable that matters most.Metoprolol?

Are you sure you're just trying not to slip?I try to shower at least twice a day. I like to feel the satisfaction of seeing my athletic 78 yr old naked body in the mirror and feel the smooth soapy water as it runs along my muscular arms and legs. I love to think as I shower how many sexy 80 yr old women would just die (or come close to dying) to run their small loving arthritic hands over my masculine mass of muscles.
Sometimes while the hot water pours over my broad and well sculpted shoulders I just let out a Tarzan-like yell, and envision a sleek young, tanned, long-haired, athletic-looking Jane type woman smile with glee as the deep manly animal-like sound of my yelling travels through her psyche, making her entire body shake with appreciation. I think maybe from now on I'll try to get in 3 times a day.
Of course naked, I even shower naked at public pools. It is possible that some of the other visitors get shocked but for hygienic purposes this is a must.Naked!!!
We sponge bathe in a kiddie pool in the summer, and get our wood stove cookin and sponge bathe in the winter.
