An educational video for people who have disabilities
So today, what are you going to show everybody?
Self check
So you're gonna show people how to do a self check for breast cancer
But the ones that tends to forget and are in wheelchairs you can do it while you're sitting in your wheelchair
Now let's see how you do it
Oh
Okay, so the first thing is make sure your bras off of course
Make sure your legs are straight
Down so do not do it this way
Do not do it cross legs, whatever. Yes, I know I got hairy legs.
But anyways, so if you're in a wheelchair proper
Yeah, compared to when you're standing in the shower, you would have your arms up like so
That way you get the breast going upwards more
But because I'm in a chair
I'm gonna take my arm and actually bend it down
All right, so it's a chair in a wheelchair, right
I'm just trying to make sure I can see what you're doing. So the arm straight up bend it down like you're gonna itch your back
All right. Okay, and then you take your four fingers. I usually do too, but you technically you're supposed to be doing four
And you just go around your breast and all you want to do is just make little circles like so
Okay, and you want to go all the way around underneath and
You can push it around just to make sure you have no lumps
