I started using my hotel lift full time at about 16. I hit a growth spurt around that time and it became more difficult for my nurses to lift me. My parents are still able to easily lift me, but there’s to much risk of nurses hurting themselves or me. We also have had a few nurses Witt bad backs who wouldn’t otherwise be able to work in our home without the lift.

I have a head support on my sling. I can send you a picture later. Which loop on the straps you use also makes a big difference in support and comfort. My PT helped figure out which ones would be best for me. As for the time it takes… There’s really no good way to cut down on that. It gets faster with practice, but it will always take more time than lifting.
