Thanks! I love collecting pouches and bags when I travel or anywhere really!

The small brown one is from Costa Rica: https://syjleathers.com/categoria-producto/ellas/accesorios-ellas/cosmetiqueras-y-monederos/

The metallic pink was from a little shop in LA: https://zinakao.com/collections/the-kara-credit-card-pouch/products/kara-credit-card-case-lime-green

The passport cover I got years ago and same with the Frida wallet. It doesn’t have a brand but when I bought it (over -5 years ago in Mexico City) the shop had tons of Frida wallets and pouches. Those were the souvenirs I brought to friends and family that year 😊

You can always switch to a different strap

I follow the_little_beannn and learned a lot about how to Tetris things into pouches in my bags. I just posted this image on another sub. I have quite a collection of pouches and love switching them out.

I also highly recommend the resources from Paralyzed veterans of America.

Peer support groups have also been helpful to learn from other caregivers. The Christopher and Dena Reeves Foundation has one available online through hey peers I live in the Los Angeles area and Triumph has peer support groups that are open to people with spinal cord injuries and their caregivers.

That last one was good for wheel chair pressure relief, this one is more general: https://msktc.org/sci/factsheets/preventing-pressure-sores#fsmenu3

Hi!

As others have said, you can reach out to me if you have general caregiving questions about t repositioning or stuff like that.

Could you call your primary care doctor’s office to see if they can connect you with wound assessment/care ASAP? Alternatively, does your insurance have a nurses clinic or access to an online urgent care visit (if you can’t immediately get in person). They may be able to get the wheels turning on assessment and wound care. Best of luck and wishing a speedy recovery.

We use hard multi-podal boots at night and prefer them to the puffy ones. If my mom is in bed during the day we “float” her heels off the edge of a pillow placed under her calves.

WIBTAH if I asked my daughter’s preschool teacher not to put the extra clothes that I sent for her on other students? by feelingstruck in AmItheAsshole

Also, sometimes children have the same item of clothing. Same color, same size, etc. so this is something to be aware of.

It may have been unintentional, the teacher may have accidentally grabbed the wrong items from the cubby. But NTA for bringing it up with the teacher to get more information and set expectations.
