Diary Gavin from Able2 – such a kind helpful young man – called in today to adjust the articulated arm support which I use when I’m eating. It elevates my hand to my mouth which makes the whole process of eating less stressful. This arm support is, of course, an alternative to my own feeding frame. The difference being that its cost is, I am told, around £800 ( but provided free to me by the NHS) against, what I hope will be a cost of no more than £200 if the feeding frame ever gets into full production. I am pursuing a very interesting line of inquiry at present, in connection with the furtherance of my ideas, but cannot disclose a name until I have something positive to report.

Diary Today two representatives from the Health and Design Technology Institute from Coventry University came to see me about some of the various gadgets I have invented to assist in daily living. I gave details of five different ideas, one of which was the Feeding Frame, which I’ve mentioned from time to time in this blog. I cannot disclose the nature of the other four ideas until I have had the opportunity to protect my intellectual property rights but in due course I will be able to tell my readers about these exciting idea. They were very encouraging about all five ideas and have gone away to prepare a proposal to develop the first of these with a view to getting it to point where I can disclose it to an internationally-based organisation who might find it sufficiently exciting to manufacture and distribute it, hopefully worldwide. I’m not holding my breath, but who knows.
