Morning everyone,
Having a lot of problems getting in and out of bed at the moment. The ot brought me one of those bed supports that goes under your mattress about a year ago but not really helping now, also have leg lifter but struggle to do both legs with it.
My bottom feels like its slidding off the bed, and if I end up on the floor cannot get back up.
Really work up a sweat and worn out at the end of it!
Any advice really appreciate it.
Thanks x
sorry can’t help but bumped you up
Hi, do you have a profiling bed? if not, maybe an ot would help you get one. They lift your head end and knees up. But lifting you into more of a sitting position, may help you get up/down.
I had a rail put along the wall nearest to the bed, which did help for a while. i would sit on the bed edge and pull myself up with the arm of my commode. But this got too dodgy. I had several falls. Also spasticity worsened and my legs went straight out as I sat.
I now use a ceiling track hoist…but that probably isnbt what you want, eh?
Ask your ot for ideas, eh?
luv Pollx
Thanks for your advice Poll 
My legs do that sitting down shoot straight out, and if I fall back on my bed I can’t get back up without help.
It would be nice to be able to sit up in bed, even if I slide down off my pillows I can’t get back on them without a major workout even then I don’t always win.
Also even turning over in bed is very difficult one side is always nearly a no no. Just finding it tough at the moment! The progression really seems to have jumped a big step the past few weeks 
Once again thanks x
Hi… I’m with Poll re profiling bed! I’ve had your problems for about 2 yrs, n now use one of these beds which I can get in and out of much easier, need a bit of help with legs, but it’s an improvement. Good luck! X Bev
