Hi Dave,
Funny, because I was just wondering how I could have ever allowed myself to
be lifted by my arms like that back in the early days. Whew, that pain was so
bad, and now both my arms and shoulders ache from getting stretched back then.
Time has taught us a lot about our bodies, but not enough of them to m

DO THIS TO YOU. lifting a quad by the arms is like lifting a water balloon by
the stem. I screamed bloody murder while I was conscious and they all looked
at each other like "what could possibly have gone wrong"? on top of that - the
electrically operated hoyer wouldn't go down. it was 'stuck'. don't you think
a little practice would be advised? hospitals, if you don't heal, they'll kill
you.

thanks for the memories john

They got me for the max that waiver would pay which was $3700 14 years
ago. These are short tracks, too. It is important to get a quality lift,
although, these are extremely simple and a tip: Its weak spot is the charger.
It won't take much percussion and its usually expensive. Mine is attached to
the wall by velcro where it can't get hurt and it will pull off before yanking
the wire loose inside the thing. For some reason many seem to come from Canada.
If I had to pay out of pocket, I'd never afford it but mine will lift my
wheelchair off the floor and not strain. I can't say the same for the hoyer or
any human aids. It is an incredibly safe people mover.
Merry Christmas,
john
