Any chance you could get a TV for upstairs?

All that transferring would do my back in within a day - no idea how you manage it.

One idea - you say he won't have other assistance but this is too much for you to do yourself. Maybe you could bring carers in telling him that you have done your back in and need the help 'for a while'?
