Switch to duct tape. That you can peel off easier. Way better than glue!

My sister has an SCI and I think what annoys me the most about the whole situation is how frustrated she sometimes gets, when her body just won't work. Like the other day when she was working on a school project, gluing stuff together, her arm had a spasm and glue went flying everywhere she had to redo the whole project :( It's not cleaning up after her or helping her with things, it's that I see the look on her face and how frustrated she gets...any ideas on how to alleviate some of her frustration with herself?

It is a new body. Just tell her she need to stop thinking the old way and work and plan with what she's got. Also, if she is ready for a good screaming fit, why let her punch you until both are in a fit of laughter.
Look! It's a snail! It's a sloth! Able to creep short distances before lunch!
