Well, so much for me braggin’ on Gary’s transfers ;-) I had to go charging forward and help him back onto the bed this morning because he didn’t make it all the way onto the wheelchair during his transfer – maybe because it was a “naked” transfer (since he was going to take a shower). We were a little worried because he probably landed on the brake handle with his flap – all we need is for that to poke through him – but we could find no damage, thank God. But the incident didn’t stop Gary – he still had me stand back three feet while he tried it again. He made it fine, and in fact after his shower did one of his best transfers back onto the bed (which is where he dresses).
