Hi! This is ~~~Nancy
Hey there Buttercups!
I've come up with a fantastic idea!
My father recently turned 99! Yup - he's an amazing man and
has reached the age of 99! We're so happy to still have him here with us!
Several weeks ago I had this idea in mind but it got put onto a back burner for a minute!
My dad has been losing his strength more and more in the past year, and I am finding
that he has begun to lean to one side while in his wheel chair!
My mom had this same
thing happen for her!
We place pillows, or rolled up towls at his side and under his arm for support, but it isn't really
the solution.
We are encouraging his use of weights, for arm strength, and other muscle building
exercises. But then I remembered what my plan had been several weeks before.
In December of '22, for Christmas I had the idea that my husband would enjoy wearing a weighted vest in order to maintain his muscle strength! My husband is still an active man, working a physical job each day! He did not think that a weighted vest would be something he would enjoy! I didn't get that one right!
I - on the other hand, have enjoyed wearing this garment! If you haven't worn a weight-vest, I would highly recommend it. And surprisingly I found that the vest actually encouraged the correction of my posture! I found that it kept me standing straight with my shoulders strong!
Voila! This could be a solution for my father! An aid in keeping his posture strong and in check! Ah ha!
As I said, I had this idea several weeks, months ago, but hadn't acted on it!

The vest that I bought comes in a pre-set amount of weight around, possibly 20 pounds. And then you have the option of inserting additional weight packs!
I'll be bringing the vest to him today or tomorrow! We'll see how he does with it and I will come back to you with an update!
Just below, on this page, as always, I have a Preferred Product section! I've included a link and description to a good
recommended weight vest from Amazon. There are many, in different price ranges to choose from. The one below is very similar to the one that I own!
I have also found it very comforting to wear the vest. It's on the order of the
weighted blanket, it offers a secure feeling that provides a sense of comfort.
As it turns out, a weighted vest can be used to slow down the progression of osteoporosis, for both men and women! Good stuff!

"It’s important to start out with the reminder that although a learning disability (LD) is a life-long condition, that does not mean that it’s a life sentence. With increasing frequency, adults have found success in navigating a world lived through the lens of a learning disability, either in spite of it, or more importantly, because of the LD. A learning disability has certain common features, but it shows up in different people in different ways. This is especially true in adults .."
