Bathing Tips For Stroke Survivors
General Tips
· Showers are safer than tubs because there is less chance of falling when getting in and out.
· If you must use a tub, use a special seat from a medical equipment store that can be put on the tub rim.
· Bath benches can make showering easier.
· Have grab bars installed in the shower. Use non-skid tape or a rubber bath mat on the bottom of the tub or shower.
One-Handed Tips
· Adapt the shower with a hand-held showerhead with hose. This makes it easier to wash underarms and private areas.
· Instead of a loose bar of soap, put soap in a nylon stocking and attach it to a grab bar.
· Use a long-handled sponge or brush to wash back, legs, and feet.
· Pump bottles of liquid soap may work better for getting soap on a washcloth.
· Sew two washcloths together on three sides to make a pocket for holding a bar of soap.
· To wring out a washcloth press it against the side of the sink with the good hand; or drape it over the faucet and twist it.
· To wash the unaffected arm while sitting on a bath bench, hold the washcloth between the knees and move your arm back and forth over it.
· Instead of trying to rub dry the whole body after bathing, slip into a terry-cloth robe, along with a pair of slipper socks. Or, sew two large towels together and throw them around the shoulders.
· To apply deodorant under the affected arm, lean slightly forward, allowing the arm to dangle and then apply roll-on deodorant.

How do i sew an elastic on my new ballet slippers? URGENT! I NEED TO DO IT ASAP!!?
so i just got new bloch ballet slippers. im not sure how to sew on the elastic. it came with 4 different elastics. first of all, do i criss-cross them or jut sew them across? second of all, how do i do it?
please help me!!
You can sew them on however it feels comfotable to you. You just place the end of the elastic inside the shoe, and sew it on. Or, you can do it the "cheater" way, and sew the ends of the elastic together and just wrap it around your ballet shoe once you put it on. Personally I like it that way, or with no elastics at all. It is simply a matter of preference.
