I wonder if you ever really recover completely. There are those instances where I get that sharp burning, and I bolt upright in bed and hit the Pepto Bismol in an attempt to get it under control pdq.

Iāve never been diagnosed, but I get this on occasion. I jerk awake with that acid burn in the back of my throat. Sips of water, and then I tuck a honey-lemon cough drop in my cheek to sooth the burn. It dissolves there while I recover for awhile and eventually fall back asleep. But my throat is still a bit raw in the morning.
My acid reflux/heartburn is almost non existent now that Iāve lost weight, and stopped eating before bed time or lying down after I ate. Longer walks also help me to mitigate it. I still keep an XL bottle of TUMS around just in case

I hated our old bathroom with a passion, tho,

Yours is much nicer than ours was. I cannot tell you how often those cheap AF sliding shower doors would come unhinged, or how many times I stubbed my toe on the metal door rail. Plus that stupid bathtub we never used for anything but storage, and which took about a half hour each summer to dust off / clean before our Berlin summer sojourns.
The remodel took about 6 weeks and ended up costing twice as much as we ā perhaps being overly naĆÆve, had assumed. We also hired a designer couple who dealt with all the nitty gritty: ordering all the stuff we picked out & dealing with the contractors. They charged 20% of the total. Ouch.
Weād been wanting to remodel forever, but never had the financial means until my mom passed last year. Now weāve run out of parents to inherit from, so ā no major house projects for the foreseeable future.

I use the O only once every week or two. Some people donāt know itās for ānow and thenā blowups and chug the things daily.
Thatās the step I need to take.
My acid reflux was terrible, losing the 20+ pounds really, really helped. Just changing eating habits(late night eating)can really improve your experience.

Thatās my biggest fear. Plus mMy townhouse has 1-1/2 baths - so I donāt have anywhere else to shower. That kind of time for renovating it wouldnāt work for me. There is SO much I want to do, which Iād probably have to do piecemeal:
-
Iād LOVE to get rid of the tiles on all of the walls (yes, the ENTIRE BATHROOM is tiled on the walls!) which are a horrible medium brown/beige/cream, but glazing is probably my best bet without getting rid of them - just glaze them with a single color. This is probably my biggest NEED TO DO.
-
Remove the gold/brass (!!!) shower door frame and put up a shower curtain and change the chrome (!!!) shower fixtures and bathroom brass (!!!) faucet. I could do a new drop-in tub OR a re-glaze to get rid of the beige tub.
-
Replace the fugliest cheapest-light-ever-from-Home-Depot-in-brass (again!!!).
-
Re-do the original oak bathroom cabinets from the late 1980s. The cabinets themselves are still serviceable. Butā¦oak. My sister found a finish that would work (although I canāt recall what itās called right now) - so thatās doable by me. I have the doors from the half bath renovation which I could practice on still in my garage.
-
Iād love to price out replacing the marble countertop, as beige-ish flesh tone is really NOT my cuppa tea.
The only thing Iād keep is the relatively new toilet my BIL installed and the floor tiles (also beige-ish, but I could work around them. Iād rope in my sister for design ideas.)
You can see most of it in this pic from previous owner:
Letās just say her taste was definitely NOT my taste. (She also had stenciled borders throughout the living and dining rooms and the bedrooms. 
) Soā¦pretty much the entire thing needs to be done. 
It would have to be done in small increments. BUT - since Iāve spent money on a new dishwasher and stove/oven this year, the bathroom will just have to wait awhile. Again.

Can I suggest a shower panā¦ In my master bath I took out the tub and put in a shower pan. I figure it will be safer and easier for Sunshine and I to be able to shower as we get older. (No tub wall to step over)
I got this particular shower pan at Home Depot ā if memory serves it was around $200. It was also self leveling and quite easy to install, so that might keep the cost of renovation down a bit.
