Thanks Amy
I am thinking of putting a comical twist to this whole ordeal. I’ll bring an insulated wine glass and pour my coffee in it and put down a table cloth at OT. Make it look like I am at a fancy restaurant instead of Occupational therapy. Perhaps a fancy bowl of nuts also.
The makeshift heating pad has gone bust. Two problems. Rice doesnt hold heat very well and it burns. Also the dollar store socks are pilling. I did more research. Cherry pits seem to be ideal as well as flaxseed. I purchased whole flaxseed today at TJ Max and got better socks. We’ll see how this goes. The cable tie has held up great, so thats a keeper.
