My progressive MS has reached a point of needing further assistance.
I'm still able to stand and transfer from my wheelchair to chair and back with a struggle - standing up using my walker with my wife's assistance then pivoting and flopping down.
My issue is transferring from my w/c to my rolling shower/commode chair and back, standing for the short-time needed for my wife to switch chairs is getting difficult.
Just started in-home PT for evaluation and advisement and receiving input.
Wondering how others in this situation are handling it or using some type of standing transfer aid.
