Thanks Sally and Debbie for the suggestion of using sheets, so simple sounding but it just might work. They would be soft on my legs and hopefully my arms are strong enough to pull them up. Only problem I can foresee is the spasticity. When my leg is first moved, it spasms straight out and won't bend at the knee for awhile. But I'll give it a try. Have an "official" leg lifter that I used when still sleeping in my bed to get my legs up there, but it won't fit over slippers or shoes and is rougher on the hands being nylon.

Today my footrests were adjusted -- lowered -- and what a difference! My heels feel better already and it's just more comfortable. There were a couple other things to fix just due to vibrations loosening things up. Cost $40 for a "housecall", but worthwhile regarding my feet!

As always, you guys have come through again with great suggestions and encouragement! Thank you sooooo much!!
