Guest guest Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 Laurie - Maybe all of us here could share some of the ways/gadgets/innovations that we have found to help us get some of the more ordinary tasks done throughout or day. As weel, we could list some of the resources out there (e.g. the "special" van for folks who are disabled) and the other ways that we emotionally cope.

It' takes a little imagination one will be amazed at how the mind can think of other ways to go on living. Laurie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barbara > > Barbara One thing that comes to mind for me being that my grasp is weak is something that my OT therapist suggested to me. Grabbing a broom handle can be difficult so she told me to buy some pipe insulation that you can get at building centers by the yard, have it cut down to suit the task at hand and it gives a broader grasping range so that you dont have to make quite a fist when sweeping or doing other things that require you to hold onto something. I hope that made sense as I realized that I was babbling but its hard to describe otherwise lol. Hugs Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 Carla, I think the people living the the northern part of the panhandle might disagree with you there.
