Yogurt challenges after stroke
I never received any ADL training on opening these containers. Trying to get the container into my spastic left hand and hold it upright is impossible. So I set in in the sink drain trap to peel off the cover. I really do expect that there should be publicly available protocols for all the little things every stroke survivor has to go thru. With 10 million yearly stroke survivors there should really never be very much that someone hasn't already had to figure out and solve. A task that obviously is way too difficult for our fucking failures of stroke associations.
I take the lid of a yogurt container by placing it on a silicon pad designed to protect counter tops from hot pans. The silicon pad creates friction that holds the yogurt container still. I found my silicon pads at Bed Bath and Beyond.
