Butt in a sling

Most of us throughout our lives kept trying to avoid this phenomenon. Try as we might, to a more or lesser degree, each of us has had a seat at least one time. Being a somewhat regular visitor, I was very well prepared when my buddy ALS informed me that my butt was now once again in a sling. Literally.


While it’s nice to have pretty women helping you into your chair, out of your chair, into bed, etc, there unfortunately comes a time when safety takes precedence over being lovingly squashed by women and their chests (bummer).


The Hoyer lift, with its sling, really does make transferring much easier for all concerned. But a word to the wise: once you’re in the sling and up in the air, it’s a really good idea to keep your mouth shut and not bring up some infraction that might have just happened. Otherwise you might just be left high and dry, swinging in the wind with your butt truly in a sling.
