Guest guest Posted October 12, 2002 Report Share Posted October 12, 2002 I use the hoyer lift everyday. I pick Leo up out of the bed, put him in the wheelchair (leaving sling in place), got to den put him in lift recliner. When it is time to get him up from the recliner I lean it forward just a little, slip the split leg sling behind him, pull each side under each leg, lift him up and put him in wheelchair. If I take the sling out for bathing (he stays in wheelchair), I put it back same as the recliner except I can get behind him, push him forward, push the sling down, then pull it under his legs. It works great for putting him on toilet. Also put in glue down carpet, it's not fluffy so lift moves easily over it. Ginger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
