Help!
Ron has had some near-misses lately. When he's in a rush to get in the commode, he's usually on his popup lazyboy chair. I have to use the swivel to get him out of there, swivel him 1/4 turn to get onto his wheelchair then 'wheel' him backwards, without worrying about the foot supports, to the bedroom; get the sling around him, hook him up to the lift, lift him up, pull the wheelchair out from under his butt, put the commode under him, pin up his robe in the back, then put him on the commode (all while he's trying to squeeze his butt cheeks together). Couple times we (he) nearly didn't make it. I told him "One accident and you're getting Depends" :twisted: (with a grin on my face - I like to give him "Sh-t" and he knows it's all in fun - LOL!)
How do you guys do this faster or am I missing something ? We have carpet throughout the house
Any advice would be greatly appreciated :wink:
Thanks and Hugs from Heather
