Get a patient lifter? Hoyer etc. to avoid sliding board transfers? _____

I'm C6-7 incomplete from an auto accident 38 years ago. I just had my first minor flap surgery andcan't believe how long the recovery/rehab is! The dr. recommended a Roho cushion and I'm having a tough time transferring from it even using a transfer board. the dr. wants to avois shearing but I think that's impossible. I need to transfer from bed to w/c to shower chair 'bare bottomed'-anyideas or thoughts? I surely don't want to go thru all of the rehab. etc that I just went thru and want to return to an independent of a life as possible. Thanks! Tom
