My wife was released from hospital after many hours waiting to go home and because there was no hoist she had to wait until the next day. She came home to a hoist and no chair.
After a wait the chair arrived which was inadequate for her needs. The o.t.s tried numerous times to sit her out but the chair and the cushion were totally inadequate as she kept slipping off the chair the o.t.s tried to adjust the chair to no avail, they tried standing and she was really good she stood and marched on the spot. But due to the effort in the chair and having to return to bed she got weaker and the o.t.s tried their best but she was unable to stand again.
