Where Are All of the Choices for ME?

When you acquire a disability, who says that you still can’t live your best life with some shopping therapy? Although it is true that you have to rebuild everything including (but not limited to) your wardrobe, your gadgets, even your cutlery! No doubt about it, the disability tax is alive and well! We have searched Amazon for items that will help you in your rebuilding era. The greatest part of these items is that they represent a win-win situation. You win with great items and HODA gets a small commission when you purchase them using our affiliate link! This doesn’t affect the prices of the items at all. You can visit our previous POST to find even more great adaptable gear!

Keep it Clean, Keep it Safe!

According to WorldMetrics.org, approximately 235,000 people seek treatment annually for bathroom falls. You won’t be included in that statistic when you install these suction cup grab bars. They are easy to install and portable! Check them out here.

Looking for something more permanent? How about this one?

Living your best life while we are already in the shower…

The legendary dizziness that HOD causes is no laughing matter. Seated very well may be the safest place to be. This sturdy chair has a weight capacity of 350 lbs (158.75 Kilos). Wheel chair transfer is a snap with this bench/chair!

Ladies…take care of the (ahem) girls with this adaptable bra

Neurodegenerative disease takes a lot from us, not the least of which is our dexterity. Let’s face it, getting a bra hooked before all of this! This bra features a three snap front closure for ease of use. It ranges from size small to 5X. The reviews are mixed, but most say that these run small, so size up ladies!

Time to Eat! Time to shop!

Check out these spill-proof plate and bowl sets. They come in a set of two or three and a few different colors to choose from. The best part? They come with a suction base, so you are bound to get all of that food into your belly instead of all over your clothes.

Perhaps it is just the plates you are after? How about these spill-proof plates that come in a four pack? You can get them in red or white. Can’t decide? You can also get two of each color!

Moving on to cutlery, how about this cute AND adaptive set for everyday use? These feature a large grip, and weighted to help combat the tremors!

We found a set for those fancier occasions too! You better hurry and add them to your cart before they sell out! All of your friends will be jealous of these beauties! Oh la la!! Hurray for shopping!

Make Everything Adaptable! Live That Best Life through shopping!

Why not make your life a whole lot easier with these foam grips? From pens to shaving razors, make everyday items more grip-a-ble with these colorful grips.

Get Up And Get Down!

Wouldn’t it be great to be able to get on the floor easily to play with small children and pets? Not just that, but having the peace of mind knowing that you can easily and safely get right back up again? This Electric Chair Lift is a little pricey, but is perfect for the job! It has a weight capacity of 300 lbs (136 Kilos), and can take you where you want to go, as long as that is up or down. Ah, the joys of shopping!

And Finally…Time To Speak Easy

HOD seems to affect our memory, especially when it comes to names of objects. Sometimes, communicating your thoughts and your needs to those around you can be a seemingly insurmountable challenge! That doesn’t have to be true anymore with these Communication Boards. Don’t let Aphasia get the best of you ever again! This set of six different boards can help you to get your point across without others trying to guess at what you are thinking. How cool is that?

In Summation….

We hope that you find this list to be helpful in your daily pursuit of living your best life. We know that there are so many more things needed to help adapt to your ‘new normal’, and shopping can’t resolve everything. Yeah, we hate that phrase too! But it does ring true unfortunately. We will continue to offer posts with helpful tips, tricks and items to ease your journey, and make life more enjoyable. Remember, just because you have HOD doesn’t mean that you can’t still do great things!
