When I 1st started using my stander my ankles and feet would hurt quite a bit but got better every time. Before you get AFOS try a couple of ankle wraps or braces and hopefully that will be enough.

I have dalmatians so I know the agony. 1st off don’t call it dog hair, it is dog glitter. You are right on the brushing, do that as much as possible. Get lint rollers and Dyson makes a great vacuum. Check with your veterinarian and to make sure it is not a medical issue. There are supplements that help and special shampoos as well.

I get dressed on my bed when I get out of the shower.

A sit-to-stand frame would be the more accurate name for what I use.

Usually don’t when im just sitting around but the minute I do something kind of strenuous I start pouring sweat.

My idea in getting the stander was to do it and use it before I actually needed 1. I have 2 superpoles right next to each other that I used to stand in between. The stander is just a much safer option if something were to happen because I am way to beat up for another accident! It does hurt the feet and shins a bit especially if I try to do a longer one but it hurts less and less every time. I was able to stand for and hour yesterday and hope to continue doing the same or more!

Actually typing this standing up in it now. Got mine a few months ago and I wish I would have done it much sooner. I try to do it about a 1/2 hour at a time. The one I got retails for over $3000 but i was lucky enough to have it payed for by Medicare and medicaid.
