I’m thinking about trying to get a decorative cane. I need a new cane soon enough and I’m always going to need a cane, so why not a really nice one? Still just browsing designs though.

if your disability makes it difficult for you to leave bed to brush your teeth, Colgate makes a product called Wisps that are single use, no-rinse toothbrushes you can use while in bed. They have a bead on the brush that dissolves and acts as toothpaste and can be swallowed. The other end has a toothpick.

Reblogging in case this is helpful for anyone.

Also sharing a post I made a while ago about dental hygiene when you’re chronically fatigued. (including some awesome tips from @energysavingselfcare)

I wrote that post when I used to brush teeth sitting down; I’ve now been brushing my teeth in bed for several years. I can only brush my teeth once a day (using an electric toothbrush) and use a higher fluoride toothpaste, prescribed by my dentist.

Wisps are great! The bristles are quite soft and have a different texture than regular toothbrushes, so they may also be helpful for you if you have sensory issues surrounding toothbrushes.
