Description

When I started struggling using utensils as my hands and arms weakened, we got a lot of advice. Most of it centered around better grips or larger handles. The issue I had was strength related not grip related. The bigger grips weigh more which were harder not easier for me to use.

I had an old titanium fork I used while camping. We found that I could still lift it. Sheila found this complete set of utensils on Amazon. She brought them to restaurants for me. We eventually bought two sets, one for home and one for away from home. They gave me a little more independence for a while before I totally lost the functionality in my hands and arms.
