Try looking for MS support groups they can give you some information. When my grandfather came to live with me I hired an aide to help out, even if they only come once or twice they can give you the basics. Generally they are by the hour and it is pretty inexpensive. PM me and I can give you some more info if you like. Good luck.

Cool! Thanks! I'm going to try the local rescue squad first.

Just a quick suggestion, is to always have a sheet under her for help in lifting and or moving. Usually if we are working in tight quarter we'll roll them onto a sheet and use it to lift and carry them to the stretcher. Hope this helps you out.
