  • Spinal Injury Level / Relationship:Friend

Posted 06 January 2007 - 05:12 PM

I have a friend who is a new C6 incomplete. One thing that really frustrates him is getting his pants on in the morning. Does anyone have any tips on how to make this easier? Another challenge is moving his morning cup of coffee from the kitchen, where he made it, to where he would like to drink it. Any gadgets around or will we have to invent one?

Well I'm new to the boards.....but not new to the world of SCI's. My fiance is a c6-7 incomplete and does everything (and I mean everything) by himself. Getting dressed by himself was probably the biggest challenge, but he does it independantly by rolling back and forth on the bed and uses a belt to pull them up. My fiance said if you want more info he'd be more than willing to talk to him firsthand. He loves helping out other quads. And Dave uses a covered coffee mug (his is a Tim Hortons one...but we all can't be canadian...lol.)

Take Care,
Mel
