While my work may have limited use for other PALS, hopefully someone will benefit. I purchased the specific RV with it's 8 x 12 ft garage for its adaptability. I removed the two queen beds, but kept the electric lift. In the first picture, I have installed a twin bed with electric leg and...
My family is struggling to transfer me on and off the toilet. It was not as bad until recently I have little strength in my legs. My wife tries to get me up from under the arms and tries then to hold me up as she pants me. Then down on the toilet.
Then she goes under the arms again and tries...
We are looking for an accessible van. What specific features in a van should we be looking for to make things easier, or what have you found helpful? Passenger seat that we can transfer into? Manual or power ramps? Is side or rear entry better? We also need to have a row of seats for our kids.
If your PALS is still able to stand, even with great difficulty, this transfer "sling" may help you to maintain your ability to do stand-pivot transfers from bed to w/chair, etc. I have found it amazingly helpful for transfers in and out of the car. Your PALS must still have some leg strength...
I would like to know if you use a PWC if you have power foot plates? My PWC has manual foot plates which require me to lean over and manually fold them so I can transfer from the PWC to bed, toilet etc. Its becoming more difficult for me and I'm afraid I could roll out of chair and the...

I am fed up with my manual lift. I am looking for recommendations for a power/electric lift. I'd like one that is portable, so we can take it with us if we travel. I know insurance will not pay for a power lift, but I'm at the end of my rope with the manual one I have.
My husband is tall...

My mom passed away in June, less than 2 years after diagnosis. I honestly do not think it was the ALS that finally took her but I guess it could have been.
She got a feeding tube 1 year earlier even tho she could still swallow, because they recommended getting it early while it wouldn't be...
