Hi @jakedduck1 From personal experience I would suggest you do a fair bit of homework before investing in a Hoyer lift. We finally had one through hospice that was quite solid and well built. However along the way we encountered several cheap, to me unsafe, rickety, varieties, which I truly believed were downright dangerous. A lift chair often can be of help at these times as well. We also found that an adjustable hospital bed was a huge help in helping to manage transfers.

Continued good luck with your insurance appeals as well! When I tallied up all my wife's bills, etc. over her years of being sick I found I had appealed on average three times on every one!

Keep up the good fight!

Well the good bad news continues, well maybe not but I was concerned about a spot on my arm but he said not to worry about it. He ended up freezing virtually the top of my head off and did some biopsies. Oh well, good news or bad I’m ready for it, lol. I took my Moms watch in to be fixed. The jeweler said nothing was wrong with it, he didn’t mention what he thought was wrong with me but I can imagine. How embarrassing.
