Cannot scratch you nose or put your hand to face. My answer is, get a dressing stick, take off hook. put padding on the end. I have used mine for years now.

    Nice one Mary :D

    My Mum used to have a backscratcher which could be used anywhere you itched.

    Love

    If your mom uses a back scratcher can she wipe her nose with it. Nothing worst than a runny nose you cannot wipe ..See where i am coming from?

    I also use a child's walking stick, the metal ones that you use for serious walking, like ski sticks. Take the end out which has the spikes and it becomes the right length if you are sitting in a wheelchair. I put padding on the open end and the handle rests in my lap. Very comfortable to rest my head on when i want to asleep or find the Sunday service boring!

    I take the wooden one to bed as it is a light lighter.

    Hi Mary

    it's lovely to meet you and to hear all your tips and advice. I hope we will have something useful to help you too :)

    My Mum died nearly 5 years ago now sadly, but no she wouldn't have been able to wipe her nose l'm sure with the back scratcher.

    I hope the service isn't too long/boring today :wink:

    Love
