How many transfers do you do in a typical day? If you tranfer to the wheelchair from the bed in the morning and then from the wheelchair to the bed at the end of the day, that would count as two.

I do about 16 in a typical day.

[LeahC]

5 before I'm even ready for breakfast lol 30? Maybe more? Depends if I go out xx

[Wheelsonfire]

Depends on the day and what I have on, at times it could be 2, off the bed and then onto the bed.
I would normally be in the chair for 18 hours a day and that use to be more until I learnt from forum members to find time to sleep.
So to answer your question it would be between on an average 2 to ?

(there was no sarcasm used or mistreated in this post)

Between 12-16. On and off the bed and couch until things improve, in and out of car, commode chair. That covers it.

Wow, I didn't realize how many times I transfer. When i saw this topic i thought to myself it'd be like 10 or something, then I counted out on my fingers and today alone it's been like 17 or something! Good thing my arms are so buff!

[mellowgator]
