….and we’re struggling to find a good position.
For context, my bf is paralyzed (C3-level, but breathes on his own) with no limb and limited trunk movement, we are both tall and pretty much the same height (he is a bit taller).
Our main problem is that he has a hospital bed that is narrow and has sidebars, therefore when I kneel on his face, I have to put too much strain on my knees because I cannot put my legs wide enough, for his face to reach me, nor can his chair be put under the bed. Getting him on his stomach is out of the question because of spasticity and his neck isn’t very flexible, either.
We would really like to try it in a way that I get to be on my back and he would be in the bed on his back, under me, or on his wheelchair (keep in mind narrow bed and the foot of the bed is blocked). Does anyone have any experience in such situations or can anyone recommend any positions or cushions?
We appreciate all the help and ideas 🙂
