Hoyer needed for handicapped woman.
My mother has been wheelchair bound for 22 years. She only has one hip, so transferring from her chair to the toilet, her bed, or the car is very, very difficult. She needs a Hoyer lift to make these transitions. Also, we don't have a lift on the car, so she uses a twelve year old manual chair in public that is even more dangerous to transfer to and from. A new manual chair would really help with car transfers.
Mother weighs over 250 lbs., and only has the use of one leg, which is beginning to get really weak. Recently, when she fell, she hurt her one "good" leg. For two weeks, she was TOTALLY bed bound. She couldn't even get to the toilet. She IS older, but her mind is sharp as a tack. She deserves basic mobility, instead of being confined to a bed for the rest of her life, donโt you agree?
Please give her the chance to go to doctorโs appointments, and maybe the library. She has absolutely no life as it is.
Time is of the essence because she has fallen down four times in the last five months. Each time, the paramedics have to come to pick her up. Three times she has been hospitalized from these falls. She fell yesterday and half her face is bruised. We would be so very grateful for your consideration of her plight.
