Hi everyone...
Would anyone share tips for transferring to and from a wheelchair. My husband (C4-5) and I are planning to travel overseas, but we have problem in transfering from hotel bed to his wheelchair and vice versa without the easy pivot that I use day to day at home. I don't think that I can bring the equipment along due to its weight and size. This has been our problem when planning for a vacation. Hope to hear from anyone soon...

Rand-Scot makes a foldable/portable version of the easy pivot, the link is below, hope this helps.

Only after we have lost everything, are we free to do anything.
