Gift for your paramedic

Here's why one customer purchased a BigSlider utility mover this weekend...

"I am eighty years of age. Young in mind but the body is falling apart! I cannot do any outside work and have to be careful not to fall as I can't get up without help and I live alone. The Slider is for the use of the lovely paramedic that does my outside chores and inside chores when needed."

Good news from our customer with spinal stenosis stinosis

Good News from our customer with spinal stenosis (see Jan 7th and Jan 12th blogs)

"Hi Jeri!

Just wanted to let you know that the BigSlider worked for me! It made it a lot easier to move our boxes from the entrance of the crawl space to the back where we store the Christmas decorations. I had my husband read the information sheet on the various ways people have used it so, when the need may arise when he is working outside, he will think about using it also.

Thank You!" -- JH, Delaware

BigSlider and the Hoyer Lift for Wheelchair-bound Husband and his Wife Caregiver

One customer purchased BigSlider to help maneuver her husband so she could use the Hoyer lift to get him back into the wheelchair.

She came home from the store yesterday and had to use BigSlider for the first time. Her husband had fallen out of his wheelchair into a place where she couldn't reach him with the Hoyer lift. He rolled on his side, she slid BigSlider up to him, then he rolled back.

She was surprised at how easy it was -- and how much easier it was on him, too. It slid right over the Hoyer lift legs, and she easily got him into position. Now she wants to keep it in the car so that when they go to physical therapy, transferring him from the car to the chair will be easier and safer.

Spinal Stinosis Stenosis, Storing Christmas Decorations

I had a chance to speak with the lady from Delaware who asked the crawl space questions (see blog Jan 7th), and it turns out she has spinal stenosis (narrowing of the space inside the backbone that pinches the spinal cord - OUCH!). She's going to use BigSlider to put her Christmas decorations away in the basement crawl space, and needed hers right away. We shipped Priority Mail the next day.

This customer inspired me to get my tree out to the curb (another great use for BigSlider), and of course I spent the rest of the day picking up needles -- it has been so worth it just to have the lovely smell inside the house all Season long!

At the Vet and Animal Hospital

My company bought me the big slider about a year ago. I work in a busy animal hospital, and the big slider is perfect for moving trash out of our clinic. I also use it to move and distribute heavy supplies to different parts of the building. This device can also double as a ground level stretcher for non ambulatory patients. This handy tool simply reduces the amount of friction between your work load and the ground and allows you to slide it to any location easily, and without having to employ a dolly. I can highly recommend this product to anyone who needs to move things quickly and safely. -- ZP, TX
