Father’s Day Present for the Partially Paralyzed

June 10, 2015 7:06 AM

My father had a stroke 3 years ago that left his right side paralyzed. Even after a lot of hard work he has not regained use of his right side. I’d like to get him a Father’s day present that helps him enjoy life more.

Specifically anything that can help him better enjoy spending time with his grand kids or help him be out and about on his tractor. Other than his tractor and his grandkids he really doesn’t have any other hobbies. Any ideas for a sub $100.00 Father’s Day gift would be much appreciated.

My grandfather had several strokes that left him paralyzed on his right side. We played cards together all the time, and he got one of these card holders that made playing still possible.

We played cribbage, so maybe you could get him a card holder and a cribbage board. Or a card storage box, or new cards - lots of things to pair with this if you wanted.

Does he like to work on his tractor? The Joby Gorillatorch seems like it'd be super-helpful.

Digital photo frame, loaded up with photos of the grandkids?
