Situation:
Your PALS cannot control their jaw and while yawning they end up
clenching their teeth really hard which may cause pain.

Solution: Keep a towel handy, either with the person who is with the
PALS all the time or on the shoulder of PALS.
The moment you see them yawning etc, quickly put the towel end in
their mouth. This way when they will close their jaw forefully, it
will not hurt.

Personal tip: When my father could not control his jaw and could not
move his hands, we would have a competition as to who will help Dad
the most in not clenching his teeth....And Dad would have to help
each of us win so we would have a good time, even when he was not
well. He would laugh at it too and I would get a glimpse of happiness
in him, even though he was helpless.

Think about it.


Cheers....
Gaurav...
