Not with this pressure sore I've been fighting. I did great with the
J2.

Howbout a firm cushion so that you are closer in height to your
wheelchair when you sit on lower spaces?

with a long torso so my transfers are just OK. I scoot more than up
and over. I cannot transfer to a couch bc I'll never get
out. I have very strong arms but can't get the depression to pick my
butt up unless I have my arm rests or some sort of blocks next to
me.

Stupid question here....
but when you say you're c5-c6, is that where
your fractures were? or is
that your level of function? For example,
I
broke c6-c7, but my level of function is at c7-t1 (I guess that's
where the spinal cord got
severed.).
One
thing that I think makes a big difference in how someone is able
to
transfer, is the length of their arms :S I've seen quads get up
off
the floor and back into their chairs by themselves, and have been
just amazed. But, those
that I've seen manage to do that, always seem
to
have LONG arms. I am able to do all my transfers by myself, except
there is no way I can get
off the floor back into my chair if I happen to fall.
