Welcome to Chiara’s one handed life
My name is Chiara, I have acquired right hand side hemiplegia. In easy to understand language this means I have muscle weakness and paralysis on my right side. This is a result of a stroke I suffered at three years old due to the Chicken pox virus. I was initially unable to move but after 10 days walked out the hospital.
However, I never regained the use of my right arm and hand. This channel is about How I manage life one handed.

Trying To Decorate Gingerbread Biscuits With One Hand.
Hi Welcome to Chiara's One-Handed Life,
In today's video, I thought I could try and decorate some gingerbread biscuits as it is nearly Christmas. I bought a gingerbread decorating kit. So let's see how easy it is to do.
Some of you may struggle with this as Hemiplegia and cerebral palsy affects everybody differently. So don't be discouraged if you can't do it the first time I'm sure you will be able to find a way. I hope this helps and I Hope you enjoy the video.
. Hope you enjoy the video.

I have cerebral palsy and I paint with my weaker hand
Nurolink not needed in this case.
Thank you so much for sharing!! I injured my dominant hand and your videos have been so helpful to help me navigate living alone
Do you have a boyfriend xxx
I had a stroke in the womb making me have epilepsy and right hemiplegia
Thank you for this video! I just lost the function of my right hand/arm after neurosurgery so I'll be practicing this!
is it possible to button up the shirt all the way up? button up the top button would suit u great!🥰🥰
Merry Christmas Chiara! 🎄🎄🎄
Would you be interested in doing a long video or timelapse of other crafting-painting-hobby projects? Especially activities you really enjoy and are comfortable sharing. Im not sure if you play any video games, but lets play streams/vod's are fun. Reaction streams are also popular. A lot of folks on UA-cam say just keep posting content and over a few years as you gain viewers all those older videos will generate a lot of views. Good luck and may 2025 be prosperous and joyful for you!
Merry Christmas from Mexico 🎉
Merry Christmas 🎄
Firstly, thanks for putting yourself out there and making these videos! I'd like to see how you dress yourself in things like long sleeves shirts or buttoned up pants (not that we need to see you naked lol). I'm 2 year post-stroke so still recovering but have come a long way. I'm right-sided hemiplegic (arm still useless but shoulder is now moving; leg is still spastic but much better and can walk a little way with a cane). I've gone to wearing stretchy jersey T-shirts and bike pants. That's easiest for me to get on and off, but still with some struggles. Something else is washing and drying dishes. I do have a dishwasher but they come out wet sometimes or need to be handwashed; and the struggle there is real lol. I see that Botox is still working for you, great stuff. Do you still do any physio, or home exercises? Cheers!
I'd like to see another shopping trip. Have a MERRY CHRISTMAS Chiara and I hope your new year and your YT channel is prosperouss. prosperous
Thank you and Merry Christmas
Do you ever get cramp in your affected side ? I've got bad cramp in my shoulder all the time as well as my calf, and if so what do you do for remedy? Thanks
That looks a bit of a pain I have to say. I wonder if you could use some kind of pegs to hold it in place at one end while you sort the other end out. Thanks for sharing! 🤚🏻
Yeah, it is a bit of a pain. That's a good idea and I now also have a fitted sheet instead of a flat sheet which works so much better. Thank you for your comment.

Awesome
You inspired me ❤
Go girl ❤! Keep the videos coming.
Well.. my son the same as you had a stroke when he was 22 months old.. he is now 29 and we are watching your video for inspiration to for the first time attempt to wrap a Christmas present using one hand!
You are amazing!! I have disability on my right side of my body as well. I went through almost same situation as you. But what’s the difference is that I was born and had stroke. Thank you so much for showing how to do that. 😘
Just use two hands
you're kidding right 😲
Unfortunately, I cannot use two hands as when I was 2 and 10 months I suffered a stroke that resulted in a right side hemiplegia. I never regained the use of my right hand arm. So I do day-to-day tasks one handed.
That's it. Be persistent.
Great effort!
Thanks! 🙏
That was a great video, Chiara. It’s a pity we couldn’t see your presentation, because I’m sure it would have been interesting. Your positivity, warmth and good humour are wonderful to see. I’ve watched a number of your videos, and they always lift my spirits. Please keep making them. I think channels like yours are UA-cam at its finest: interesting, educational, inspiring and emotive. Well done, and cheers (from Australia, where it’s bloody hot at the moment)…
i thought you had botox injections to loosen up your hand to allow you to use it??
I do have Botox injections to relax my muscles as they are very tight, but it does not allow me to use my hand it’s just to help relax the muscles to make it more comfortable for me
@@ChiarasOneHandedLife so as far as you doing things with it its pretty much useless? i hope it isnt to painful
This video made it seem like the products really worked.
If you have something underneath a bottle one, it does work. You just need something to hold it.
@ChiarasOneHandedLife ooohhhhhh, you must be learned that by trial and error. Good job.
Any day with a new Chiara video is a good day 😊. Not sure I could do a panel in front of lots of people though. Really fun video.
Thank you for sharing your story at the conference! Helps me to understand my patients better 😊
Ahh my hair is mega thick
thank you for the video ❤
You are a beautiful woman xxxx
Thank you!!! I injured my dominant hand and was trying so hard to try and get my hair up. Your instructions saved me!!! ❤
Ein wunderschönes Mädel 😊👌👍
Your sweet actions bless with the strength, with the will, and the challenge to Conquer.
I've got tht bread board, I find its easier to accross mes me, having the board hooked over a wooden chopping board to get the orientation correct, i'm opposite hemi to you though. Basically arrange it so you're spreading towards the pointed corner of the board
❤❤
I grew up with a hemiplegic parent so our house was full of gadgets like this, and it is shocking to me how much worse these are than the ones we had in the 90s/early 2000s. My mum had a specially adapted chopping board for holding veggies + buttering toast and it worked so well!
that was me.
Hi Chiara, I have hemiplegia too. Have you used the Xbox adaptive controller or the playstation access controller
Well Chiara, I think those products are a bust. It looks like someone that has use of both hands,invented those. I think you're doing fine on your own. Thanks for the reviews.
Great video! We need more videos like this one!
I also suffered a stroke 2016 and was paralyzed on my left side of my body so now I have a weakness on my left hand
Great video, super useful reviews!
Hello Chaira. I would like to talk to you pls, can I send you a message ?
Nice video, we need more like this!
Thank you I will make more videos like this.
You are an absolute inspiration I am so glad that I found your channel I am curious were you initially left-handed or right-handed or were you old enough to have shown a tendency I had a massive stroke at 51 fortunately I was right-handed and became hemiplegic on my left side but yes you're an absolute inspiration to those of us who struggle everyday
