This has been a bad week! My mom has had ALS for 7 years and she at home with my Dad.
Two days ago we find out he has renal cancer and his kidney needs to be removed, this is scheduled for tomorrow. I need quick advice about what kind of manual or electric lift to buy. There's not a lot of space. My Mom is basically paralyzed and can't speak. I need to be able to get her in/out of bed to her wheelchair and then a recliner which she loves to sit in. I also need to be able to get her on a portable toilet. I need one person to be able to do this. I also need to be able to get pants up and down. It's a big list! I needs folks that understand ALS to give me advice. She stays in one room-the living room, so I don't need to go from room to room and we can't attach to the ceiling. Please HELP!:!::-(
