Hi Amy,
Here are a few of what I call 'Cheap Tricks.' When I'm in bed use the leg of
a sheer panty hose to put all of my remotes into and then tie the cut end at
the appropriate length so that I can either hang them off the bed or pull them
up to use (remember to point all remotes toward the toe) them. I also use a
length of oxygen or fish aquarium plastic tubing to run up to my bedside
standing lamp, and then down to my half gallon water Thermos. I don't need
someone getting me water all the time this way. At night I just stick the tube
between my fingers and I'm able to drink at night.
After my Mom moved in with me, she'd wake me up at night to ask if I called
her. I bought a cheap doorbell that plugs in an electrical socket, plugged it
in next to her bed and hung the button on my bed. Now Mom sleeps great because
she knows if I DO need her, I can buzz her. :)
With Love,

Hi guys. Just wondering if you guys have any special tips that you use. For
instance...for my boyfriend..we use velcro strips for EVERYTHING. To hold vent
tubes in place. As leg straps. And to hold his hands on the chair. We also use
those plastic ties that slide thru..not sure what they are called. But they
come in different sizes. Use them to hold wires in place on his chair. We have
even used them to hold the chair together when it has been broken. Also bungee
cords...those little elastic straps with hooks on both ends...come in handy to
keep his control arm in place so it does not fall out of his reach. And keeps
his vent in place on the back of the chair so it does not swing around and fall
off.
Just looking to see what other ideas you guys have come up with. It always
helps to learn new things.
Thanks....Amy
