The Flying Trapeze - oh geez!!!!
Over the holidays, I was "fortunate" enough to receive a Hoyer lift, based on the recommendation of my physical therapist, that my ability to transfer was declining and my legs were weakening! This is not fun!!!
I have never liked roller coasters, nor swinging high in the air!! This is terrifying!! Dan, who loves all things with flight, has been in the sling a few times, and likes swinging around in it! Dan is still being trained, but we all know that any day this will be my means of transfer. It is time consuming to get me situated in it, all clipped in safely, and then move the lift from bedroom into bathroom. I hope my transfer legs hold out a little longer!

Thanks for sharing, Deb. It sounds terrifying, but thank goodness you won't be stuck in bed all day... There is a very educational video about Hoyer lifts here, btw: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EP2myQVns9s
