I've used the Hoyer for awhile.  Leaving the sling in place all day adds
fuel to feeling as a sick person so I removed it.  Rolling the body then
rolling up the sling half ways under you, then repeat from the other side.
A slight tilt if your chair tilts helps.

Does anyone use a Hoyer lift to get out of bed and into a wheelchair?  If
so, how hard is it to get the sling out from underneath you once you are
sitting in your chair?
