I’m not quite 40. Last year I fell off a step and pretty significantly sprained my ankle. The instability and initial pain came down in about two weeks. However I was having a nagging/niggling pain for about a year. I finally got a referral for PT and that resolved it.
I don’t think this is the one I remember, but it’s real close and real satisfying.
I have a friend who does temporary shelter for animals of people leaving abusive situations. It’s a very cool organization she’s part of and I kind of wish there was one around me. That said, I have too many pets as is to foster more.
I highly doubt it actually costs anywhere near $10k to make such a bed.
What I’m saying is that adaptive furniture is likely a registered class II medical device which goes through FDA approval. So the bed isn’t 10K, but (a portion) the FDA registration is. The consequences of failing to register something that qualifies as medical devices are 1) fines 2) payments to anyone harmed and/or 3) time in federal prison.
Sure you could easily “disrupt” the market, but the market could easily disrupt the rest of your life.
restraints/locks/alarms for things that a cognitively impaired person might need, such as if they get up in the middle of the night
Restraints are 100% a medical device and I would highly doubt you would either be allowed to purchase or be reimbursed for one that’s not approved.
Edited to add: https://www.registrarcorp.com/blog/medical-devices/medical-device-registration/fda-class-ii-medical-devices/ A quick explainer (marketing from a business that helps companies register devices) since the FDA website is … not super clear nor helpful.
When my wife was in university and had weird down times she would do Amazon MTurk. It was pre-pandemic, so I don’t know how things are now, but I think she was regularly getting $200-400 a month (covered her car payment).
(In the US) If you make a medical device paid for by Medicaid, you have to have FDA approval. Which honestly, now may be the time to try and get it?
I also vaguely remember this.
I have often said that for me successful dating is not about getting to date lots of people, but about quickly filtering out the people who don’t work for me and filtering the people who do.
For OP, a lot of pan/bi sexual people already reject strict gender roles, and may be more open to a relationship like you’re seeking.
I used to base my social life around fun cheap’s suggestions.
I partner dance and I joke that I’m graceful as long as I have on dance shoes. Off the dance floor I’m always bumping into things, knocking stuff over, just generally klutzy seeming. On the dance floor I’m able to navigate the crowd and prevent collisions.
