Keith, If you can't find a male aide, have you thought about a lifting device like a hoyer lift to assist your aide with your transfer? It might be a good idea to keep one around anyways. Michael-c5c6/37yrs
------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------- Hi Michael, The hoyer lift is one thing I'm checking into, but another problem is the state of NJ is only allowing me 21 hours total a week. That's just three hours a day for both morning and night. Keith/C4-5/NewJersey ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
