Just waiting for my rails and hoists to arrive and be fitted to help me transfer into my chair.
And one in the bathroom.
I’ll be able to have a shower for the first time in months.
Sounds bad that but can assure you I’m clean, Pat my partner gives me a wheelchair wash every night and she is very thourgh I can honestly say " NO STONE UNTURNED ".
a question-do you need somebody else to operate a hoist? i know that seems a daft question but are there ones available that are maybe remote ccontrolled? after saying that you would need help to get sling on i assujme? just thinking aheasd…
I miss hot baths, but only because I can’t stand the heat anymore. I have to have everything cool, but then I have to make sure I don’t shiver or I get hot too…bah! I have to be quite ‘well’ to have a bath, it’s a lot more difficult to get out of than the shower. I hope the hoist makes everything easier for you, so you can enjoy a good soak. Let us know how you get on xx
Hello, just wanted to wish you luck with your hoist.
I have been using a ceiling hoist for 2+ years now (got one in bedroom and one in lounge) They are brill, but i wish i had one in wetroom too. But the new wet room was only installed last Dec and we didnt want to spoil its Hollywood image!
I am able to sling and hoist myself…unless I start spinning and overshoot my destination!
