I think it would depress everyone a lot more to wind up with a ruined back from trying to move an overweight woman than it would to use a mechanical lift system which can easily be explained. It's far more depressing for your mother to lie in the middle of her bed b/c nobody can move her than it is to have a piece of equipment that achieve the end result with ease & simplicity. We are each responsible for our weight and must accept the consequences that go along with our eating choices. That's my philosophy on the matter. My mother has gained quite a lot of weight herself over the past year or so & has to accept the limitations that go along with it. As well as the consequences that arise from her refusal to do physical therapy and her loss of core strength as a result.

You may be surprised at your mother's reaction to having a lift; she may be relieved at the thought of having no people put out at her expense!
