    PALS ROLL CALL NEW THREAD (PALS ONLY) [Wednesday or whenever]

    Overcast and rainy here. Looking forward to the lift delivery tomorrow. The neighbors are having a picnic to celebrate their daughter's third child (on the way). We'll have to see if the ground is too soft for my PWC. Best,

    Fear or courage ?

    I suspect the distinction Max had in mind was between fear which prevents us from acting and courage which allows us to act in spite of fear (which Jonico described). But it is too simplistic to suggest it is one of the other. "Faith" could cover a spectrum from religious faith, to faith that...

    Hoyer pep talk?

    I heard from the DME that they can deliver a lift on July 1st. Question about slings: Several positive comments were made about the Liko high-back hygiene sling. The sizes overlap a bit - Large says 154-220 and XL is 198-286. I'm about 210. Any suggestions on size? I don't want to make a...

    PALS ROLL CALL NEW THREAD (PALS ONLY) [Wednesday or whenever]

    Jessie, I'm so sorry to learn that you are struggling so. Thoughts and prayers for strength and comfort. I got a call today from the DME stating that they can deliver a lift on July 1st. That will make things easier and safer for us. Still losing arm strength, but my CALS is good about feeding...

    What happens to my pALS if something happens to me?

    It doesn't provide "smart" function, but we've been using a nursery monitor with good results. The nursery end is in my room and my CALS can easily hear me, and speak to me if desired. She can also carry the other unit with her if she will be in the garage, for example.

    PALS ROLL CALL NEW THREAD (PALS ONLY) [Wednesday or whenever]

    Eric, congratulations on two great celebrations; your sons' birthday and high school graduation! Going through some decline. Can't use my lift chair for now because I've gotten "stuck" (CALS couldn't get me up) twice in the last week or so. Waiting on a Hoyer but it is taking a long time...

    Breathing Differences

    I found out yesterday that if I recline the back of my PWC, I can (sometimes) button the top button of my already two-sizes-too-large shorts! I usually get two tries. If I don't make it on one of them, it ain't gonna happen. 😬

    Breathing Differences

    Yes. Distressing and creates wardrobe challenges. :confused:

    Ditto. If we don't know whether to laugh or cry, I would rather try to laugh. :)

    Transfer disk

    We all did the Twist at some point. :LOL: Unlike the Loco-Motion (Little Eva) which I would have no idea how to do. Oddly, it appears Grand Funk Railroad covered that song. (They were a band in the late-Sixties/Early Seventies.) ;-)

    Transfer disk

    Cathy, I can see how that would be, especially on carpet (which mine is). With my weight on it, it doesn't turn easily but I still have enough core strength to be able to help turn. (Think of doing the Twist.) :)

    Transfer disk

    I'm still able to stand from my PWC, and with assistance from the lift chair, but we were having problems transferring because the toes of my feet or slippers would get caught as I tried to pivot. We got a transfer disk, and it has helped. It is 15" in diameter, and like a flat lazy susan. I...
