Debbie, Have you thought of asking her to wear all-weather, 70% polyester, 30% cotton outer pants--the thin, shiny ones you slip over whatever is on underneath, like what runners wear on rainy days? THey're VERY slippery. Works for me. Also great for getting on and off of beds, chairs, couches, and armchairs! And, Joyce could look SO-O FASHIONABLE!!
