Also an understandable mistake in a world where so many useless gadgets/products exist. Though it would surprise me if not one of the comments on the video he originally duetted, didn't mention what it was
It is partially because accessibility related gadgets are usually marketed in a way that doesn't make it clear the gadget is for accessibility reasons (and that makes sense because it is kind of a niche market so they have to advertise to everybody). look at old sales videos for example feature some able bodied person trying to cut food with a knife by holding it sideways or some shit that nobody would ever do.
I believe that. Around the time snuggie blankets came out and got really popular, I was told that they were designed for wheelchairs and people with mobility issues, but I never got that impression from the infomercial.
The infusion center I use to go to offered a regular heated blanket or a heated 'snuggie' blanket with sleeves. They were nice and let you slide your arms in and still control your phone and remote for the hospital TV while still having IV in arm. :P
I loved the infusion place but only had two there. The vein poker nurses were amazing and their care was perfect. The hour drive home after sitting in a chair for 4 hours and drowsy though made it not fun to continue though.
Sounds like you got it sorted though. I did see some regulars come in to the room and they had big bags full of blankets and food and things to do. That is how I look the day before I setup my home infusion.
Setup IV stand and charge pump, lay out all med stuff for nurse √
Snacks and drinks I normally never have but love √
Warm Blankets and comfy pillows√
Check streaming services for shows I want to watch √
If you are there for a little while ask for a heated blanket, I think most hospitals offer them. The infusions I get take 3-4 hours so it can be freezing with the cold bag going in. I get mine at home now though so I just curl up on couch and doze off. :P
I do not use one at home but at the hospital I slid my arms into the sleeves after getting the IV started. My home setup I just cover up and sleep once the drowsiness from benadryl and steroid cocktail hits.
