~Risers and Movin Photos~ :-)

That's my couch, oh, and that's one of my kids standing there..

Margaret, its a doll that Donnies mother made for me..I change her

clothes for the seasons.. she wears kids clothes.. Anyway,

you see under the couch on the corner there, that's the riser.

This one is really too high..you can see all the junk I have hidden

under it.. my keyboard for one..its plastic..I got them for my bed

but then got this other bed so we put them under the couch to

raise it up.. My sis loves it, she can get up and down easier on

it.. Many say that.. Poor Lori her feet don't reach the floor when

she sits on it! Pennys don't either. ..The risers come in 4 inch

or 6 these are 6 inch..
I want you to know what I had to do to get this photo now..lol.. I

had to bend in half..move all the stuff away from underneath

so I wouldn't look like a total slob..and then fold in half and set

the camera on the floor.. You can see Margaret's shoe..she wears

Nike's you know.. So you see how the leg of the couch sits in the

riser..It raises the couch up to just a slight tad higher than my chair

which is ok..cuz the cushion sinks when I get on to it.. NOW.....
these photos that are next were taken off the video clip I offered

to send out.. So some parts as you see my head is in that one, it

is a tad blurry, and I cant help that.. I was moving and also its

cuz its a video..but I am just a tad lower than the couch pulling

right straight up to it.. I lock down which you can see the bar across

that black line..that's the break..and we NEVER NEVER do any of

this kinda stuff with out it being LOCKED securely...
It takes a few seconds to get my skirt situated so I don't pull

it off..If I don't lift up the front it drags and then pulls me forward

and then I fall over face first ..:-) you can see the end of my

stump there up next to the edge of the chair.. I havent moved

any closer yet..
When ever I make a transfer I always start out with my left stump.

Its longer and gives me more stability when I make that swing to

pull all of me over on to the seat of the couch..or where ever I

am doing this kind of transfer. Its different if I use a board.. I guess

I could make a video using my board..and since I do have 2 of

them that are totally different..might be interesting.. I hope if you

find this interesting you will let me know..or if you have questions..

and want to know about something.. I have not ONE single thing

to hide.. Its all right there in front of ya.. in all her wonderous

GORGEOUS WEEBLE glory.. :-)
This is the final push over onto the couch.. and then its

still a few more scoot arounds to get all situated.. its on the

video that it can be seen easier.. but this gives you some

idea..its got to be in stages that I move onto this couch or

my bed.. maybe because I have short arms? :-) not that any

other parts of me drag or anything you know.. :-)
There , I have swung my 'skinny' :-D but GORGEOUS Weeble

butt finally OVER there on the end of the couch..
TADA!!! see? I did it! :-) ahh butt you KNEW I would..Its

not really hard to do.. By pulling right up to the couch or bed or

what ever its a lot safer..to me anyway, as there is really only

one way you will fall and that's on to the couch or bed or where

ever... When they said do a side transer..well I would have had

to go over the wheel..you see it there..well I would have to pull

the arm out..this one doesn't just tilt..I wish it did..no I have to push

a button in in front..then in the back of the arm is a lever that swings

around to release it..major thing to do..so you can imagine by the

time I got to make the move..well..not easy.. and that leaves the

whole side open..one wrong move and you could easily fall onto

the floor..and with my accident hanging up proneness I would be

the only one in history but I bet I would fall out.. That's how it goes

for me..

Anyway, I thought this might be a kinda different way to show a

transfer and not being on a video.. Maybe one day this week I

will get my board and take a video of it and then get some snaps

of it like this.. Then if you want the video..just ask... like for this

one..now you see what half the video is like..the rest is better ,

trust me lol... Ok..food time and Im starved.. I played on this puter all

day debating and getting info about going to Chicago next week for

a few days.. I don't know anyone there but I sure would love a tour

guide while If I go ..Plans arent definite yet.. I have a drs. appt

that I am going to see if I can change it.. I think be fun to spend a few

days in the windy city.. "Nitey Nite"

Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? love ya and THANKS!!! :-)

ALways, Lois ****

God Bless you, is my prayer today,

I'm so honored to call you "friend";
