Episode 5: Moving to a New Home

In this episode, Jesse interviews Ken about his recent experience moving to a new home. They separate physical/mobility challenges associated with hemiparesis from cognitive challenges after ABI. Cognitive strategies include labeling drawers and cabinets and asking family to help organize. Physical accommodations include moving appliances and fixtures on the  strong side, using a rolling cutting board, installing a cut tub, using a rug over hardwood floors and having family help pack and unpack. And remember, even with more room around the bed it still may take a hockey game’s time to put on a fitted sheet.

“Anybody going through what I’m going through, it will work out, it just takes time”
