The 58-year-old has been desperately trying to have a shower fitted but claims the council refused the request and asked her to demonstrate how she uses the bath.
A disabled Scots gran claims her local council told her to 'wash at the sink' and left her feeling humiliated because she can't use her bath.
Karen, who has lived in the home for 37-years, has arthritis which affects most of her body and had pins placed in her leg when she broke it two years ago, Edinburgh Live reports. "I do take painkillers and get on with it as much as I can because I have to. But not being able to wash properly or feel safe when I do is where I draw the line.
"If I fall in the bath, I'm in a lot more vulnerable position. I'd be naked, wouldn't have my phone, and could hit my head off the sink or the toilet."
