my husband used a "bed assist" for years, even before his PD required it. They came in pairs at the medical supply store...each slides between the bed and mattress with no assembly or screws etc and stays put. we put one up next to his pillow and another down toward his feet along the sides. there was room to get out between but each was a mini rail to be used to pull yourself up or slowly let yourself down. they were invaluable and many others around here have since bought some and are happily getting up and down with them, or at least more easily..though the rope is a terrific idea...try a terry cloth bathrobe belt..someone suggested it here. maxine ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
