Hi There
My boyfriend was diagnosed with ALS in 2004 at the age of 25 and he can usually come up with great ideas for doing regular things in different ways adapted to his needs. We have an issue now that we cannot figure out and I wondered if anyone could help us.
We purchased a lift chair and have put it in our living room to make it easier for him to get up and down when I am not home. However, we can't get his butt back far enough in the chair to make it comfortable and so that he doesn't slide forward. Are there any other options for chairs that work better? Or ways to sit a little more easily?
If anyone has any suggestions, I would really appreciate the help.
Thanks, Lindsay
