Hi wardbob,
Jon said it 'several times', could you perhaps list the fractures/breaks/displaced disks? Just the spine though.
Levers and pulleys can acheive wonders, aside from a couple of pry bars I regulary call into use a 2-ton 'come along',(cable winch), and something that gets overlooked a x6 meat pulley. The rope can be tied off easily, does not mar finishes and the whole thing wieghs about 1 pound and can store easily.

Jib clinches as used on yachts are good if you can secure them.
