Guest guest Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 I am unable to stand now, my legs/knees won't support me to transfer from scooter to driver's seat in van, scooter to bed, from scooter to toilet, and well, forget showering. I have not twalked since 1993. Fell and hurt fused ankles and was in Rehab for 20 days with just manual massaging due to pain. They said for me not to attempt to stand at home for fear of breaking a hip. iam having a major change in my whole way of doing things for myself and not independent as paying a friend to stay with me during day while husband is at work. Waiting for new power chair, 3 - 5 wks, as custom fitted for me. A tilt/recline/elevate to relieve pressure and swelling in my legs and ankles. Does anyone recommend any ceiling lifts that I may used myself?? They are not covered by my Insurance and most expensive. So, payong an attendant is expensive, too, and I want my life back before I fell!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
