Hi - Dave, I had my wife take some pics of my lift because you and a few
others wanted to see it, but my printer-scanner-copy machine is down..I will
have to get someone to repair it later. But you guys can go to
PLANETMOBILITY.COM and they got pics of it there........Mine is the 1st lift
shown it's a TRANSACTIVE made by Waverly-Glen. ( the man shown being lifted is
in a full sling--but the also sell a quick 2 piece strap sling set ) that is
what I use. Dan

Keith , Definitly try to get the 1 rail overhead lift--- We got the
Waverly Glen-Transactive lift about 6 or 7 years ago...Man it was a life saver,
My wife my kids or grandkids can even get me in or out of bed now...My mom is
70 years old and was here for a visit, I was feeling bad and wanted to go to
bed--she was a bit afraid to try and put me in bed but I talked her thru it and
was in bed in no time, When she got done she said, wow that is so easy-there is
nothing to it !. When we got ours the cost was around $4,000 but now some are
around $2,000--check sights such as spin-life and so on. A workman installed
my lift and were ready to leave in only about 2 short hours. There are many
types and brands--just read or watch video's to see what might be best for your
needs. I'm a c-6 so I don't need the full sling that comes with them--I ordered
a 2 piece strap set and that is much easier and faster, It goes across under
your knees, the the 2nd strap around upper body
trunk undr arms then up in front to lift. Most quads with any arm movement can
use the 2 piece.
good luck, Dan H.

It's the second time he (older brother) has brought this up in less then
4 months. (I'd hate to see what he'll do if his wife or children were like
this.)
With that said, my folks and myself included no longer want him here. He is
just so fixed on what others in my family are doing to help. Like God for bid
he does anymore then someone else in the family...and that to boot was rare.
Not to mention my twin just got his schedule changed at his job due to the
advancement in his position. It put him from night shift to morning shift.
So, now I face a big dilemma in my life because my folks are older and cannot
do everything for me. i.e.; getting me in and out of bed.
But I've looked around for grants or financial assistants to help me pay for
a one rail ceiling lift so it would be less stressful on whomever had to
transfer me.
Any suggestion would help please...

PS. It's crazy to think that I'd be fighting my family to stay in the
community, but that's my luck. Plus, the PCA availability stinks in my area not
to mention I just get max 21 hours.
