Great question, @penniefancies9856! The wrap is waterproof, but the silverware could get messy quickly. Depending on how messy the meal was, the caregiver could wipe it down after each use, but if the wrap needs to be changed out, each roll has 5 yards of wrap. This problem is part and parcel of DIY. Of course, a person could purchase silverware made with built-up, rubberized handles that are dishwasher-safe.

Thank you for engaging with our video! Like all tips and products, they are not meant to be a panacea. Family caregivers and individuals who use walkers deserve to know the options and decide for themselves if it may work for their situation.

Thanks for your support, Syya! 🥰🥰

Thanks for all you do for your residents. We ❤️ CNAs!

Here’s a link to a national medical equipment lending closet directory: seniorsmobility.org/free-medical-equipment/near-me-national-programs Tap on your state and see if you have a lending closet near you. Lending closet loan gently used medical equipment for low or no cost, that way you can try it see if it will work for you. If it doesn’t then you can give it back without having to purchase one. Hope this helps 🥰🥰 AECorner.com

Great! Let us know what you think.

That sounds so frustrating

@@AECorner In my region , my guess is some ( not speaking about all ) doesn't want to tell the patience , the truth or something else going on , that I don't know about . I had a Xray done and tomorrow I'll be going to doctor to see what it might be. If I don't get the answer. My next step will try and get an MRI and take it to my Orthopedic Specialist. All this will take time , because my Orthopedic doctor is booked out for months at least 6 months . Or maybe I can get in earlier. Wait and See .

@@debbiec6216 Wow, 6 months! Hopefully you will be able to get in sooner 🤞

Our first recommendation would be to get an evaluation from a local physical therapist. Here is a video we made featuring general exercises: ua-cam.com/video/BLTrLOemhkQ/v-deo.html

@@AECorner I went two PT , in 2021 and 2024 and after 10 weeks each , they sent me home. I have a weakness in my right hip and my left hip drops. I will end up going to an Orthopedic doctor and see what needs to be done.

@@debbiec6216 It sounds like you have a lot of orthopedic issues which typically exacerbate hip weakness due to compensation. Seeing an orthopedist is probably your best bet. Keep us posted 🥰🥰

@@AECorner I have to agree with you .

@@AECorner This will take a process and a lot of time . Thank you for all your help.

@@AECorner What happened to wooden crutches?

@@wadehamlin 🤷

Thanks for sharing your experience, @abou8963 🥰🥰

Wow! You were fortunate to have an advocate with you!

Their mobility devices for people who have difficulty walking. Thanks for engaging with our video. It helps get our content in front of more people.

Agreed! It would definitely help lots of caregivers reposition their loved ones or clients and decrease back injury 🥰🥰

Thanks for your question, RoseMarieFlor. As we’re sure you can appreciate everyone is different and without being physically present we can only speak in broad generalities. We’re encouraging people to be evaluated by a local physical therapist who will be able to write a plan of care tailored to help meet people’s specific needs. Check out this video that accompanies the video you commented on: Overcome Weakness: Trendeleburg Gait Exercises: ua-cam.com/video/BLTrLOemhkQ/v-deo.html Have a great rest of your week. 🥰🥰

Yes, there is! So smart! It’s a position one would put a patient in while lying in a hospital bed. 🥰🥰

We love that you’re thinking this through however, if a person’s weak leg is so weak that it buckles then a cane might be for them. The person may need more support from devices like crutches or a walker.

@@AECorner I see thank you much appreciated 🙏 🙂

@@Rachie-nj3oi We’re happy to help 🥰🥰

Thanks, Diane 🥰🥰

Here’s a link to their website: gozeen.com It’s currently listed for $4,100 USD

You just made this physical therapist proud! We try to get our patients to think proactively 🥰🥰

🤣🤣 That's funny!

Thanks for joining us!! 🥰🥰

Aww... Thank you for your kind words, GaryandAdriel! It's one of the nicest comments we've received on this video. 🥰🥰

That's a great idea, RiverRoxMusic! Thanks for the suggestion. I'll let the Makers program that printed it for me know. All I had was the self-adhesive tape. It's always my go-to product; not unlike duct tape 🤣

Thanks, Dolly 🥰🥰

🤔

Really? That's fascinating 😀

Hi Byron, While turning a doorknob might seem like a simple task, it can be incredibly painful or even impossible for people with weak grips, arthritis, or other hand limitations. These 3D-printed levers offer an assistive technology solution that allows them more independence in their daily lives. Thank you for sparking a conversation about accessibility. Your engagement with our video helps raise awareness of helpful resources like ours.

And cheaper! Thanks for your support, Diane! 🥰🥰

We recommend telling your primary care physician. It sounds like it something they need to know. 🥰🥰

You know I thought that, too Esteban. Check out the photos of it on Thingiverse.com

Thanks for engaging with our video, though.

No, Andrew it’s a 3D printed door knob lever. It helps people who may have a weak, painful grip or decreased hand or wrist dexterity open doors in their homes. Thanks for engaging with our content

Thanks for engaging with our video, slaaanie

That’s fantastic! 🥰🥰

So sorry to hear you’re having difficulties getting a diagnosis. But, glad to hear you’re not giving up. That has to be so frustrating. Has anyone mentioned Globus Sensation or Globus Pharyngis? If not it might be worth a Google search.

@@AECorner my symptoms are similar but not exactly the same it’s almost like I’m trying to swallow my tongue and all of literally everything in my mouth but sometimes it feels like i physically literally can’t swallow no matter how hard i try then sometimes it’s like im trying to swallow a big bite of food or it’s completely normal

@@sethmewes161 So it's not about feeling a lump stuck in your throat; it's about being unable to trigger your swallow? Would you consider being evaluated by a neurologist? Would your primary care doc make that referral?

@@AECorner so far the only thing I’ve been recommended to was therapy and dietitians

@@sethmewes161 hopefully, they can recommend foods that will help you maintain your caloric intake and nutrition. Asking your primary care doctor for a referral to a neurologist might not be a bad idea; at least rule out any neurological involvement.

It’s a tough job, Jazmyne. Thanks for all the care you provided. I’m sure it made all the difference in the world to your care recipient 🥰🥰

So happy to help! You might be surprised at the number of people that are sent home from the ER with a pair of crutches still in the cellophane 🤦🤦

@@AECorner Your so right!!😂

@@Yk_RileyDoitThebesttt 😖

If you have access to a 3D printer you can download the STL file from Thingiverse.com 🥰🥰

This particular room didn’t have a couch but you could call the Holiday Inn you will be staying at and ask.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the StronArm cane, YaGirl! 🥰🥰 Christina & Cindy - AECorner.com

Thank you for engaging with our content, Shelley 🥰🥰

Thanks for sharing your experience, Shelley Gold. Situations like the one you’re describing is why we recommend you consult with your local PT for a full evaluation, that way they can develop a plan of care tailored to your specific needs.

Based on your comment, Shelley, this technique is too advanced for your physical abilities at this time. Please consult with your local PT for a full evaluation. They will be able to create a plan of care tailored to meet your specific needs.
