I'm happy to hear she is recovering. I had an AVM rupture almost 2 years ago and have paralysis on my left side, no hand o foot function, I've been to therapy multiple times.
A Smart Drive is a power assist device that can be attached to a manual or rigid manual wheelchair. It acts like cruise control for the wheelchair where once the motors are engaged, all that is required of the user is to steer their chair and adjust the speed. The MSRP cost for the unit is $7529.00. Insurance may cover the cost of a Smart Drive in some instances if a user has been an ultra lightweight manual wheelchair user for greater than one year.
Beautiful and inspiring story, but there are too many best-case-scenario infomercials on TBI recovery, and not enough purely informative videos which give realistic expectations for the vast majority.
Do you need to add a thickener? If so, where do you find them? When I try to puree, it either comes out too thin, like soup, of too lumpy. What's the secret?
Powdered Thick It or the liquid which is far more expensive. There are other brands now too, but I don't remember the name. Search for "liquid or food thickener" and you'll get the info.
Vaping, chewing tobacco, snuff, snus, hooka, vapirorizers and dip all come with risks but nothing compares to how smoking tabacco absoultley destroys your body. Ideally people wouldn't be using anything but it is a shame smoking is so popular
This is the kitchen in Traurig House, correct? I spent 9 months living there after a bunch of brain surgeries and I remember washing dishes basically right where she's standing as part of my rehabilitation. This is amazing.
Excellent !!!!! To see the scoop helped me clearly know which scoop to use per 4 ounces!!! ThankYouSoooo Much as it is scary not to make the correct consistency!!!
Over 30 years ago I had four months of intensive physical therapy at Gaylord after a TBI in late 1981; I absolutely hated the hospital, the people, and the therapy-but I was mad as hell! (Any brain event makes you mad as hell!) It got me walking again, and I was able to return to college in 1983 and complete my bachelor's degree. A high-profile neighbor of mine is currently receiving similar therapy to yours-for a spinal stroke he had in May-at NYU Langone, and I'm hoping he's able to walk again. He believes he will, and has a lot of people rooting for him. I write to him about twice a week, and am going to share Mike's story. (I also walked out of Gaylord with a walker but am now ambulatory.)
The patient always has the right to choose or not to allow a catheter to be fitted no matter what the risk is. The only time a patient would not have the choice is if they are not of sound mind to make the choice due to mental health permanent or temporary from effect of anaesthesia.
