offset hinges for doors and hoyer lifts

[Guest guest]

Hello All: I know offset hinges have been discussed before, but my mind

needs refreshing. We can get them from Mom's catalog for $19.99 for a 2

hinge pack, but every door we need them for has 3 hinges. Mom's says

people usually use only 2 hinges, but that doesn't sound right to me. What

is the experience out there?

As for the hoyer hydraulic lift, it is a monstrous-looking object, and what

experiences do the group with those? Can I work it all by myself--some

advisors say I need 2 people, others say 1 person can do it. It is

standing at present in the living room waiting for some sturdy souls to be

my guinea pigs.

As usual, I am thankful I can come to the group and get answers.

All I can tell you is that I have a Hoyer lift, and have used it by myself

for at least 3 yrs. It's a little difficult to push with Leo in it across

carpet. We removed the carpet we had and put in glued down, berber carpet

and it works fine on that. I don't have any thresholds to cross with it,

just use it to get him out of bed and put in wc or out of wc into bed. I

have a split leg sling which is very easy on and off. Much easier than the

solid one. If you have any questions, please ask.
