How do I lift a paralyzed person from a fall by myself?

this person is taller than I. Has had a sr roke and has no use of her right leg arm or hand.

Is this a what if question or has it already happened? Fall prevention is the way to go. if a fall happens you can call the non emergency number for the ambulance service and a couple of paramedics will come to help you.

Depending on where you live, you might want to call 911 to assist you, it is not a good idea for you to do that kind of lift without help.... you can hurt yourself and then you would both be down....
