Has anyone used a Hoyer lift sling to standing position?.
We have a Hoyer lift, but sling is designed for sitting position.
I am 280 pounds, and can "walk" with walker, but on days when caregiver is not here, my wife is not strong enough to get standing from shower chair. Once I am up, I can "shuffle to recliner".
I hate to use Hoyer to transfer to recliner to stand up to get dressed, but don't want to hurt wife's back.
Any suggestions?
