00:00:55,990 moving her right shoulder to operate the device was painful 36 00:00:55,990 --> 00:00:56,000 device was painful 37 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:57,830 device was painful and she couldn't do all she needed to 38 00:00:57,830 --> 00:00:57,840 and she couldn't do all she needed to 39 00:00:57,840 --> 00:00:59,189 and she couldn't do all she needed to with something that simply 40 00:00:59,189 --> 00:00:59,199 with something that simply 41 00:00:59,199 --> 00:01:02,470 with something that simply opened and closed and so shortly 42 00:01:02,470 --> 00:01:02,480 opened and closed and so shortly 43 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,189 opened and closed and so shortly thereafter i just put it aside 44 00:01:05,189 --> 00:01:05,199 thereafter i just put it aside 45 00:01:05,199 --> 00:01:08,710 thereafter i just put it aside and um just went back to using 46 00:01:08,710 --> 00:01:08,720 and um just went back to using 47 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:13,510 and um just went back to using what i had my one hand 48 00:01:13,510 --> 00:01:13,520 what i had my one hand 49 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,429 what i had my one hand the new devices developed for mrs 50 00:01:15,429 -->
