Hi All,
I haven't followed this whole thread so excuse me if I'm repeating anything. I assume she is in a wheelchair. If so, does she have a tray that fits on the chair or does she have some kind of tray with a belt to go around her waist to use as a lap tray? Has she worked with an O.T. to know what is out there for her? Or someone who is very creative and can design something for her? Taking her TB player to dyalysis is a great idea. A stream is more compact if she can afford one. Sorry, my brain is too old to come up with any craft ideas at this time. If I come across something, I'll surely let you know. Take care and God bless.
Annely

Linda, double amputee
doesn't necessarily means she has no legs. Usually
they themselves will describe if you ask
gently. I have a double amputee
friend that
has both knees. So he could hold things between his knees.
I
didn't ask what he did during
dialysis, but my guess is he worked on his
computer as he had a job to keep up with. He
now walks, smile, with
artificial legs.
Another acquaintance has her foot off. She came within a
whisker hair from losing the second foot. The
doctors don't amputate the
entire leg
unless it is to save a person's life. The mailman whose
les were
crushed in an accident had one leg
off to not quite his hip and the other
below his knee.
With that computer she can take classes to
learn to write or design or any
number of
wonderful things. I hope she has a PCA (Personal Care
Attendant)
to take the load off her mother,
smile. With the PCA she can feel more in
charge of her life.

Yes, Cindy, she is
taking her didgital player to dialysis and listening to
books. Remember she is an amputee and has no
legs to hold anything with.

Linda,
During dialysis, perhaps she
could practice holding the weaving sticks
between her legs so that she could weave. The
ball of yarn could be in her
bag easily be
pulled from. If that caused any problem, she could get
someone
to look up on the internet how to
make a yarn ball holder out of a two liter
bottle. This would make her yarn easy to use
and make sure it stays where it
belongs plus
the plastic bottle would be light weight (most of the people
on
dialysis tend to carry bags that would be
big enough for this to easily fit
in).
Does she have a small portable
daisy book player (victor, bookport, or even
a phone)? This would also help her pass the
time (usually four hours three
days a week)
and it would allow her to have something to occupy her
while
she is learning whatever craft she
decides on to be proficient enough to
handle
it while at dialysis.
Tell
her we are all pulling for her and wracking our brains to
come up with
something she can manage.
Cindy

Thanks, Terry, She
wants something to do during dialysis. I don't
think
this would be appropriate. I will
ask her about doing it this summer at
home,
however. She has grandchildren, which she may want to make
something
for. Souldn't that be a good
momento for her grandchildren to have later?

Linda,
In thinking more about your
student. I just found an old article about
making Mosics. Working with plaster, easy to
mix and place things in it to
make coasters
and things. I was looking at making plaster molds of
childrens
feet at the beach or stepping
stones for garden or outside. Made with
marbles and all kinds of things. If you need
more on this, let me know.
