The first person who calls this a torture device is going to get punched in the nose by moi.

You tell 'em, Lynnie!! :-)

In the midst of all these medically correct supporters, I spot what looks to be a coffee maker up on the top shelf?

Very good observation about the coffee pot. But what was this used for? Maybe for someone with back problems? Interesting!!

Nah... Although, I did used to have something similar to that, specifically built for torture! :D Yes Jude, that coffee maker is ALSO a piece of necessary medical equipment!

Hate to tell you folks, but that's the device that Hannibal Lector was wheeled around on. Sorry to torture you!

Actually, I just finished a book on Christopher Reeve and he talks about using one of these. They have to raise you gradually or you'll get light-headed from your blood pressure. Just like was just mentioned, he saud it was a relief to actually "stand" again.

I'm not calling it a torture device, Lynne, but it looks like that thing from the movie Hannibal

Wow, I dunno why but I get such a lonely feeling when I'm lookin at this picture.

Like.. I'm trying to imagine what it would feel if you have to use one of these. every day of your lifetime. Think about school. Nobody would play with you. You just stand all alone every day.

I know, feeling moody today :D

Btw, didn't they roll Hannibal Lecter all around in one of those?

This device reminds me of the scene in the film "Silence of the Lambs" when they had to move Hannibal Lecture and met the Mother of the kidnapped daughter.

I once knew someone who had MS and she would stand in one of these for two hours out of a day...not sure what for, but most of the time she would use a power chair to get around.

you knows whats funny? (i keep saying this) but i'm a painter, and i noticed the old "aqua-glo" paint can. i'm pretty sure thats a mid-eighties label. it's benjamin moores premium semi-gloss finish at the time. (i know! useless info) lol

on a close up, the label should say 333-01, or 333- 70 or something. (333 meaning the finish and a 2-digit number meaning the ready-mixed color)
