Hi Stacy,
After I went to a ROHO cushion I had to stop my transfers alone
because I tore the first cushion trying to transfer with a slid board.

Paul,
I'm a C-5/6 incomplete and I'm unable to transfer myself. I think
before you start trying to transfer yourself first get evaluated by your local

able to show you the proper way. I don't think you want to end
out of the
straps or anything. It was a long time ago.
