The DU Lounge

we would adjust the legs so that the legs on one end of the bench were shorter and the legs on the other end were longer so that when you put them on the stairs, they would make an even shelf for a seat. Then the patient would sit on one end and slide to the other, then stand up, move the bench the direction they needed to go, sit down again, and slide to the other end and repeat the process until they got up or down the stairs. It was tedious, but a lot of patients preferred it to climbing stairs. It helped (was safer)if they had someone available to move the shower bench for them.

I'm sending you healing vibes--I know what you're going through is really hard work. Hang in there--you'll be so proud of the independence you realize you are capable of.
