Loving the medical equipment swag. Just because its necessary for life doesn't mean it needs to be ugly and if anything that's a reason it shouldn't be! I'm also a fan of bespoke mobility aids, OT jewelry, and well-designed adaptive clothing.
Man, if Lemmy had enough users to sustain niche communities, an edc space dedicated to accessibility devices and other items that help people live life would be fucking awesome
What does OT jewelry mean in this context?
Occupational therapy like physical therapy but for fine motor control (usually the hands) instead of gross motor control (like the legs). It can also refer to the neurocognitive / attentional ability to engage in complex tasks. In this context I mostly mean splints like this but it can also refer to stim jewelry for people with autism, adhd, and similar that benefit from having fidget items or other stimulating material such as a chew on hand to reduce anxiety / agitation and to help with focus. Basically if you would need it to do a desk job, it probably falls under occupational therapy, but it also includes the same skills but applied to leisure and other activities.
You might like this thing. It's a tool for self-massage, invented by a Finnish wheelchair-bound person to quite literally scratch an itch :) I have one in the sauna and love it!
I'm quite partial to my theracane but the main addition I would ask for is more diamonds.
So there are more options around! Good to know, thanks for the introduction. Easy to get hooked on these XD
Ahhh, that makes sense. Those are super neat, thank you for sharing!
Lmao, I love your tread on me patch, and that knife is super nifty!
This looks like a lovely and super practical carry, thanks for sharing it!
Its always really interesting to get a glimpse into the world of someone who has to deal with very different things than yourself- the jar for needles seems like an excellent way to dispose of them!
I've thought about carrying a lighter just for other folks but I'm not sure enough people in the spaces I inhabit smoke enough I'd ever be able to offer it to folks. Though I don't get our much anyway, so that doesn't really help either 😅
Well in defense of women, I do depend on my wife for a lot of that stuff.
For the record, I reciprocate when we go on vacation. I usually carry a backpack with everything and it is often very heavy with bottles of water.
LOL :D In every relationship there's the organised, trustworthy one and the one not so... Let's just say I prefer to depend on myself for the essentials XD
Well I do carry my wallet. It's about all I'm allowed to handle.
I carry my phone, cards and cash using a binder clip as a money clip, and my keys. That's it.
