We got Mrs A a device (a very strong handle) to helpher getin and out of bed, but it can only be on one side, otherwise her damaged legs get in the way.
What she misses on her OTHER side is something to grab hold of, other than a handful of sheet!
I have rheumatoid arthritis and use a wheelchair on and off. I have had both knees and hips replaced, but now probably need elbow and ankle too as well as a revision of the original hip. I don't always need to use the leg lifter, but sometimes need it first thing in the morning or if I get up for a pee.
Thanks Tora. At present, we’re veering between on the one hand desperately hoping she gets better (even amodest improvement would do away with the need for mechanical devices), and on the other hand frantically buying things to keep her out of hospital.
So your grab handles might be useful. Bed/bedroom getting a bit crowded!
just ideas me old china, you must be the judge of what works, good luck. If I was your neighbour I'd be round and try and work something out. I'm a natural problem solver and I love my job.
