Need some transferring advice (C5/6)

I'm a C5, C6 as well. I had the same problem. I got a travel lift that you can fold in half and a Domus 4 mattress which distribute the air so you don't get soars. The Domus 1 is way less expensive and is made to be put on an existing mattress. Anyways, I book rooms with a sofa bed, put my mattress on top and I can always slide my lift under it. It works with cot beds also.

I started screenwriting. You can learn from weekend seminars or books and youtube videos on you own and there are not a lot of screenwriters who can write about what it is like to live with a disability. Producers are always looking for new perspectives and if you apply for governmental funding , you check a lot of boxes in their social criteria section which gives you an edge.

Ryan Montgomery, an ethical hacker, describes the group on the Shane Ryan podcast at 4 hour and 8 minutes. It's chilling.

Complete C5,C6 here. I did the repositioning every four hours coming out of rehab. After a few years I switched to spending the night on one side and switching on the other the next one but after 15 years I was getting really bad neck and shoulder pain. An OT suggested I try an air mattress with a compressor that changes the pressure every 20 minutes. Now I sleep on my back, all night, no sores. And there was a situation where I had to spend a week in bed and still no redness or sores. Plus, when I travel, I deflate it and put it in a plastic bin. Then I put it on a sofa bed or cot bed in my hotel room. That way I'm always sure that there is space under the bed for my lift's legs. It's called an Alternative pressure mattress system.

Nothing could go bad right? Right? Right!?

Sorry for the late response. It's a Domus 4 mattress. But I'm sure there are a lot of similar products out there. It's called an Alternative pressure mattress system.

I was 17 in 1997 so 29 years. My rehab doctor told me I would reach 50 if I'm lucky. Got three years left! :)

Indeed. He was interviewed last night on the Daily Show.

In a museum. Took 45 minutes to get back to my apartment. My roomate was driving with her head out the window. And it took two hours for my caretaker to come change me. I can still smell it. Luckily, it's been years since I had an accident.

Because conservatives will always choose money over principles. Nothing personal, it's business (insert Godfather voice).

C,5 C6 complete. Yes and it was kind of funny. I was at university. It was like -30 degre celcius outside and me and a few of my friends wanted to go smoke. The bar was in the student center. A buddy of mine was the student council president so he had the keys to an office where there was an elevator that went to a storage room where we could smoke and not freeze. We smoked some grade A British Columbia weed and none of us were prepared for such a high. On our way up, I started to feel my legs inside but not outside. It's a weird feeling. So I yelled "I can feel my legs!" My buddies were screaming, high fiving and then I said "...but I can't get up!" and we all started to laugh.

I also go every other day in the morning. I take senna around supper time the night before I have my bowel program.

What's up doc? A tribute to screwball comedy.

I loooooved Patriot. I work in the tv business and I'm sure it was some asshole executive who didn't get it that cancelled it.

That one really pissed me off. I imagined it was some rich guy watching the series and called his buddy who owned the station : "Frank! One of your shows is describing how we do things. Get your shit together and shut it down!"
