| 2 | "I wanted a way to leave my bed during the day, that would be simpler than the lift and more comfortable than the chair. I followed Susan Armbrecht's lead and ordered an ambulance cot that could be raised and lowered hydraulically. I ordered it extra wide, extra soft, rocking bed height and with a special adaptation that lowered the feet slightly when desired. The cot did not exceed the combined value of a lift and an ambulance cot. Executed by Bomgardner Mfg. Co." | |
| 3 | When cot is pumped up to rocking bed height and hooked on to frame of bed, one person can roll the prone character onto the cot. | |
| 4 | Raised, the cot can be used as a therapy or dressing table and is wide enough to allow rolling the patient on his side. Convenient for post-bath, hair-washing, etc. | |
| 5 | Lowered to chair height, cot becomes a chaise lounge at sitting level of people around. Very thick foam rubber mattress and leatherette cover make it possible for all-day comfort. | |
| 6 | With foot dropped and back raised, patient arrives at a sitting position to enable him to do table work, mouth stick work, etc. | |
