I,m a c-6 --there is no way I can get out of bed--we have an overhead ceiling 
lift to transfer into my powerchair or showerchair --I don't have an adjustable 
bed though. Once I'm up- I can manage pretty well all day, even if my wife is 
gone. ( there are some quads that can transfer) it depends on the person and 
how 
high the injury was.  Dan H.

Subject: [QUAD-L] sleep?

My son is having a really hard time with the fact that once he is out of his 
chair in bed that he can't get up. Mind you he has an automatic adjustable bed. 
Wants to try sleeping in his chair. Needless to say...I will not let that 
happen 
if I have any say....has anyone else had this overwhelming feeling. Can most of 
you sit up, reposition yourselves or transfer out of bed  /


Peace be with you........
