A transfer board would’ve made that experience so much easier; regardless of the type of your chair
Do you mean a standard transfer board or one of those special bath ones? I used to use a slide board originally but once I got the technique down I personally found it much easier to transfer without using a board (for all transfers not just bath). I guess as with most transfers, there are different ways to do it and everyone has a their own preference :) We did look at getting one of those specific bath boards but we couldn't find any that would fit this shape bath but now months of practice later I'm not sure I would bother to use one even if they did exist - it gets much much easier with practice!
PARALIFE Yes I was referring to a standard transfer board. But I would live the bath bench with the seat that slides back & forth & lowers you into the tub. But I don’t have the money for one of those.
How do you balance the slide board? I always found positioning it so that it doesn't slip quite tricky. Yeah everything mobility related is ridiculously expensive! That's one of my worst thing about being disabled - the technology exists to help people but nobody can afford to buy it. Glad there are a lot of charities to help a bit!
Is your injury complete? Do you get spasms or tone and how do you deal with it?
Yeah, my injury level is t4 and it is complete. I get quite alot of spasms and have tried medication to reduce them (e.g baclofen), but found it didn't really work for me. My spasms aren't that violent so I just tolerate them. Any tips?
@@PARALIFE Hi. It seems BOTOX injection is good alternative, but it is a bit expensive and it lasts just 3 months. Greetings from Chile.
@@daninisco thanks for the tip - we'd heard of botox injections to help bladder control but hadn't heard of it as a treatment for spasms before. Do you know how it works/where we can find more info?
that is a massively large towel, where did you get it? i've looked for that kind here in Texas (USA) but no one has them.
Yeah it is, it's great! That particular one is really old so not sure where it came from but we have beach/swimming towels of a similar size - they seem to be the next best in terms of size. Have you tried looking online?
@@PARALIFE yeah I looked on Amazon but didnt see anything in particular that caught my eye lol
Fair enough, if we happen to come across one anywhere we'll let you know
@@PARALIFE are you on facebook?
