He could not move it

Bob wanted to try a weighted blanket, so I ordered one. It was about ten percent of his body weight. He had to be "assessed" with it, to make sure it was not restraining him and that he could move as he would like to. We tried it in his chair first. He could not completely move it off his lap without help. We did not even try it on the bed. I guess I have a fifteen pound weighted blanket, in addition to the one Jane gave me. Part of my evening was spent online shopping. We are getting one that is only five pounds. Just enough to make him feel "hugged". We have lots of rules to follow. But he would not have enjoyed the heavy one anyway.
