While sitting here blowing my nose and suffering, I decided to make a nice list of recs for when you're sick and struggling! Maybe you'll find something to get you out of the funk!

Okay, real talk: I am the person who used to shove everything first-aid into one tangled carrier bag and then panic when someone actually needed a plaster. Last winter I finally sat down — after a long evening when I could not find a clean bandage for a small cut on a cold, dark walk home — and built the kit I wish I had already had. This is that kit, split into what stays at home, what goes in the car or bag, and the little extras that stop a small winter mishap turning into a miserable evening. It is for the people I look after, for cold pavements, icy steps, dry cracked hands and all the tiny scrapes that winter seems to bring. Keep the home box stocked, keep the travel pouch topped up, and check the dates before the cold really bites. This is general guidance from my own experience, not a substitute for your own doctor or dentist.

As one of my mom’s caregivers, I wanted to create a list of the ALS caregiving products, mobility aids, respiratory equipment, comfort items, and daily living tools that have genuinely helped her. These recommendations come from her physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, social workers, doctors, and our own experience caring for her at home. We have tried many products that did not work for her, so I am only including items she has actually used and found helpful. ALS is a progressive disease, and a person’s needs can change over time, so not every item will be appropriate for every stage or every patient. However, everything included on this list made a meaningful difference for my mom at some point in her ALS journey. Sending lots of love to all persons with ALS and caregivers of people with ALS. I am hopeful that there will be a cure one day. ***As with anything on Benable, I earn a very small royalty from purchases made here, but I wouldn't recommend anything I haven't bought for my own mom.
