I very recently became paralyzed in my left (and dominant) arm, fingers and foot, which believe it or not, was not planned for.
The timing was pretty bad, as I’ve just purchased a couple of ESP3266-boards, a soldering kit and two pressure mats with the the end goal of making a basic bad sensor (one mat for my girlfriend and my side). (Here’s the guide I intend to follow: Make your own bed sensor)
The obvious issue is how one, as easily as possible, can accomplish this? Main issues right now are that I can’t hold the board, the wires or anything in my hand.
Any and all tips are greatly appreciated.
Somehow as a society we’ve come up with a real black and white view of disability. You’re either able-bodied or completely disabled, no in between. This does not match reality. Many wheelchair users can stand and walk in a limited capacity, for example.
Unfortunately this leads to misinformed people casting moral judgments upon disabled individuals who don’t act “disabled enough”. Hopefully we get over that misconception some day.
