[HumanSer] Keeping long canes

[Ericka Nelson]

You’re right Lisa. I did use voice over and dictate. Any good ideas for keeping a cane sanitary? I think every once in a while cleaning it off with a Lysol wipe or hand sanitizer is a good deal. I so wish the telescopic ones were more sturdy. I suppose I could use one at work where there’s far less cracks to detect, mostly just floor changes and wheelchairs. And I can use the other heavy duty straight cane party animal outdoors.

Keep the tips come on in! I would mostly love to hear from healthcare professionals and folks that work with kids

I work in assisted-living is in activity assistant so I’m on the go a lot especially since I work with dementia care. Like he tends to fall on the floor often. One can only do so much Hansina Tyser in a day. I do not plan to cave-in to a folding cancel any other suggestions? I also wonder if there’s a sidenote, the cans that slide up into the handle, sorry I forgot what they’re called, are they more sturdy than they used to be? Are used to have one and it collapsed on me all the time no matter how secure I tried to make it.

I got 30 bucks for attempting to do a home nasal swab kit. The guy thought I gave him awesome improvement suggestions. Hopefully they can make this totally accessible to Low Vision and totally blind. I did my best guys. Nice to get paid for educating peopleonce in a while.

To clarify, you were working as an activities assistant in an activities department? Are used to work as a recreation therapist and an activities director. This was a really long time ago. Nevertheless, if there’s anything I can do to help please let me know. Take care again, congratulations!
