Is there a different way (without spoon) to receive Holy Communion in the Orthodox Church?

Well, technically, yes. If you are very sick and can't stand from your bed, you can invite a priest to give you Communion personally, so you'll be the only person to Commune this day. However, lying to the priest to receive Communion is pretty bad idea.
So, as Abbanoob said in the comments, you'd better rethink your concerns about this, maybe talking to the priest himself.
