I can no longer walk & my husband uses a Hoyer to move me to my wc or livingroom recliner. From the bed he helps me stand with the aid of a walker (with no wheels) for about 20 seconds to get my pants on & off. I am concerned as I won't be able to stand much longer....how to I get in the hoyer sling from the bed? I have a commode opening so it needs to be lined up just right. Maybe it's just practice but any hints would really help. It is easy to get the sling off at night when I go to bed but getting into it laying down has me worried. ALS is moving so quickly...legs already gone but now my arms are changing almost daily.
