Occupational therapy student here. Thank you for this video. Very informative.

Hi Paul, my son had a stroke at 18 months old. He is now 5 years old. He still has the right sided weakness. Watching your videos has helped me with some new tips and tricks. Thank you very much for sharing! I greatly appreciate you showing the world you still got it!😁😁

I’m glad I looked this up. With only one hand I was about to resort to smashing the can like a Neanderthal

My shirts misbehaved even before my 4 strokes

Don't take the injection from your skin before 10'' from second click.

That’s cool 😊

I have one of those one handed electric can opener and it IS awkward. To remove the lid you press the button again and it goes the opposite way and lets go of the can. The lid OFTEN sticks to the can opener and when it does just push the button again. What i do not like is the very sharp edge of the can itself when opened with this opener.

Thank you! This was very helpful.

Anyone figure the best reach tool to get the non effected arm?

So helpful! Thank you so much for sharing!

Actually it sucks!

I lost my ability to use my left side about a year ago. I’m 22 at the moment. This video helped me! Thank you.

I’m going to try a crochet hook… not too small/not too big. This is an awesome inspiration

I use to have a true ratchet belt, not this joke they have now. There call them ratchet, but they are just slid-belts that can be quickly released. I can not get them tight enough with my broken shoulder.

Can I ask how you wash the non-affected side with the affected side? I just recently got arm paralysis due to a surgery complication, and have been using one arm but it has been difficult. I still do not know how to wash my not affected arm with the affected arm.

Wow! I was not expecting that. I thought you'd tape the yoghurt to the table!

You inspire me every day Paul!! Keep up the good work

Thank you so much for this video!!

good job... keep up the motivation.. you make it look easy

The soapdish is so smart!

Hi! Just wondering how Paul is doing?

Hi can you please provide the link to the mattress cover?

Thanks buddy wish you and your family the very best. 👍

Thank you for this!!

Thank you. I needed this as I'll be caretaker for my ex husband who is a stroke survivor

☺️👍👍👍🙏

Hi, I just subscribed! I need to figure out how to put an AFO on one-handed. Thanks for the video. Please tell me about the way you have you laces set up!

thank you paul

Hi Paul!!

Paul, I hand a stroke 6/25/2019. I also wont let a stroke hold me back like you, thanks.

Thx for sharing. Keep trying to get independent.

have you tried to regain more function in your arm?

How were you able to use the walker one-handed? My stroke took my ability to use my right hand. I would love to use a walker so be able to carry stuff too, but I can’t figure out how to use it one handed.

Maybe you could put something under where you’re cutting to catch the cut pieces so you don’t have to bend down so far.

Great job! I am a fellow stroke survivor. (I had my stroke at 32 years old. I am now 36 years old.) Where did you get the small canvas bag that you carried in drinks from one refrigerator to the other? Also, where did you get the large gray tote by the trashcan?

I couldn’t figure out how to use this type of can opener, I’m a medically retired Police Officer I have a spinal cord injury from being shot in the line of duty and partial paralysis that extremely limits use of my right hand. Thank you very much for posting this video. Good luck to you and yours.

I've had several strokes in my life, Dr Mary T Newport has a book called alzheimerz. What if there was a cure. The title is an exaggerated to get people attention, but she says in her book that coconut oil causes brain regeneration. It causes them to regrow wether it's from injury or strokes, fish oil also causes brain regeneration. The army is looking into it for brain injured persons. You might find interesting on fish oil in a doctors use on the Sago mine disaster victim. I take fish oil and coconut oil every day without fail. Brain regeneration is very slow but I'm proof these things work. Her book has a section in the back on what care givers sent in to her .

My 73 year old father endured a fall about 8 months ago that resulted in a spinal fusion and a broken right shoulder. He was released from rehab last week and is having a tough time figuring out hope to perform some tasks independently, including bathing and drying afterward. I’m sending this video along to him to help him feel empowered to do this on his own. Thank you so much for sharing the steps you take, they’re helping us learn new approaches to our challenges!

Thanks for sharing tips and ideas. Great to learn how to adapt environment and tools to help get things done. An inspiration you are. Thanks.

Get well soon

Keep those videos coming!!!👍👍👍 You have great support from your wife!

Looking good!!!👍👍👍

I have the same problem with ziplocks, so same solution I use my teeth. I also use my whole body for solutions arms, torso, whatever works.

Paul it’s refreshing to see a stroke survivor with similar disabilities. I was looking for one handed utensils and I came on your channel. I suffer hemiplegia on my rt side and drop foot so I try for tiny victories. Right now it’s just using a can opener, lol

I made one of these over twenty years ago out of the Masonite pegboard. This was before these plastic ones came on the market. I was in a pickle back then because a customer ordered over twelve thousand t-shirts from me and wanted them individually folded. That was his requirement to place the order. At the time there were automatic folding machines, but they were way out of my pocketbook price. So, I came up with this idea, but never patented it. Sure, sounds like I'm tooting my own horn. But not really, because I think it's awesome that people can buy these for 20-50 bucks instead of 25,000-45,000 which is the price at that time for a machine. Glad to see you're sharing this!

Is it painful? I have an intense fear of needles and dont see how I can do this to myself 😔

Looks pretty handy (no pun intended) but I live by myself. How about replacing batteries? How tough is that? I may be having a shoulder replaced soon and I am trying to figure out how to function without home health care.

Good for you man. I dont want to use the darn thing for fear of pain lol. But watching you deal with business is inspiring. Take care.
