Re: [QUAD-L] Transfers

Hi Paul,

 

A person stands in front of me and I wrap my arms around their shoulders/neck and they wrap their arms around me under my arms, then they stand-up and pivot me so my butt is facing the bed/chair, and then they set me down.  Because I only have a left leg the pivot is always to my left, but with two legs the pivot can go either way.  I hope this is clear.

 

With Love,

Hi LQ,

 

Back when I was younger than I am now, I could do a bed-to-chair transfer, and back, using a slid board.  These days I do a standing pivot transfer back and forth from bed to chair.
