hoist and tilt in space commode arrived today!!!! had a support worker scheduled tonight and was able to have a proper shower with the new equipment and it was amazing
so so nice to be clean! and to be able to get out of my powerchair without struggling to move myself was so amazing
currently the hoist doesn't fit under my bed so i cant transfer to/from bed with it, but hopefully we can get bigger wheels on my bed soon to raise it up a bit, they make ones specifically to work with hoists thankfully
i really really hope we can get a ceiling hoist approved for my place 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞! would be amazing to try transfer independently like that and not have to have such big equipment in my tiny flat
my new shower chair / commode is a Raz with attendant tilt (https://razdesigninc.com/shower-commode-chair/raz-at-attendant-tilt/)
its very comfy and has lateral support and thigh adductors, which was so much more supportive than my previous shower chair.
one funny thing though is my body has muscle memory and associates being tilted with being in my powerchair, so while in the new commode i kept reaching for my non-existent joystick to realign myself lmao
