Normally I can transfer with the use of the walker and staand and pivot type thing. But there have been more and more frequent situations where my husband has had to lift me like a ragdoll and transfer me. I am 4'11 and only 105 lbs, and he is a big strong man, but he has had a really hard time getting a good angle/grip, somehow it's been terrible everytime lately. And last time he really hurt me (by accident). My neck got whip lash, he hurt my shoulder, and he hurt part of my spine (or that's how it felt, like one of the discs was sore).
How do we start process for getting a real lift? Are there any good low tech options? Im envisioning a hammock type thing with handles or something. He is strong, he just can't get a good grip on me.
