My Lift Chair Comes Today

[wisenior]

Living alone, I just thought it was safer.

My old recliner was tired,
and my flexibility isn't what it used to be.
Getting in and out of it was becoming unsafe.

I had one for Mom.

I know there's a hidden signal in having a Lift Chair,
But it's time.

I'm looking forward to it

 

[Pepper]

Driving me crazy. I know I've seen your face before, just can't remember where.

Remember to have back up batteries for the lift mechanism. Also...the batteries are not strong enough to use during a power outage. Keep these in mind. BUT, that being said, I have one too and like it

 

[Aunt Bea]

Enjoy your new chair!

 

[Rae]

We have two, one for each of us and we like them a lot. Easier to get up and safer.

For those here that have lift chairs and like them, what brand(s) so you have? (I'm thinking it's time for Huzz to have one and his old recliner is about worn out anyway.) Thanks.

 

[Rae]

Ours are called Catnappers and we bought them in 2014 at a local furniture shop. Ours are nice looking and do work for us.

It's here, and I feel so much safer.
I shouldn't have waited so long.

A bit different but we;re having one of those "lifts" on our outside back stairs/porch. Goes up on tracks and dumps you off on the porch. Our SIL, who owns the house, has already installed the needed electrical connection and the installer said it would be a 2 day job. My wife and I are 91 and 89 and there are 10 or 12 stairs to climb to get to the porch. We can still manage but it gets tougher by the day.

I'll tell you what,
This lift chair was money well spent.
Especially if I doze off watching the game or something.
Getting into and out of that old recliner was sketchy at best.

Much safer.

I agree with you. Some nights when I cannot sleep. I come out and get a good night sleep in my lift chair

Congratulations on your new chair purchase. That was a wise choice.

That's a Hoyer lift.

Did you know "I'll tell you what" is a complete sentence in the State of Texas?" LOLOL
Texas joke, from my DH.

Glad the chair experience is a success! Enjoy!

Wondering if those come with a little joy stick...drive it around the house to get into and out of the tub? Seriously?

 

[wisenior]

My Auntie Connie needed a Hoyer Lift at the end of her life.
It was the only way they could clean her, get her dressed and ready for the day.
I was there a time or two for the ordeal.
While it's great that the technology exists,
She was very embarrassed and I felt so bad for her.

Hoyer and sling. My SIL lives with us and is completely immobile. I am a veteran and professional with this. LOL.

I keep thinking of those carnival rides.

You are a saint! And I do come in serious. May I ask what your MOS was or is this too personal?

I think he meant veteran hoyer lift operator. Maybe???

Lol. I think you may have misconstrued my meaning when I said I was a veteran. I meant a veteran at using a hoyer. Been doing it for years with my SIL. I'm pretty good at it.

However, I am also an Army veteran. I was in the infantry, 11Charile. I was fortunate enough to also be assigned to mechanized infantry units, so I dropped all my mortar rounds from the back of an M113 Armored Personnel Carrier.
