This is the Top 10 Challenges for the One-Handed.
This list could have been a Top 100. I've confined it to things I do on a regular basis. If something obvious isn't here, it's probably because I avoid it — i.e. zippers and buttons.
10. Getting the last bite of food onto a fork.
9. Taking a greeting card out of an envelope.
8. Putting a greeting card into an envelope.
7. Signing a credit card receipt – a short one that curls.
6. Opening that waxy plastic bag inside a cereal box.
5. Preparing a toilet seat cover.
4. Texting while driving*
3. Donning shoes while my dog confuses them for chew toys.
2. Removing fingernail polish.
1. Pinching one nostril closed while snorting allergy medication from a long-nozzle, pump-action bottle.
*Calm down – I’m kidding.
i can't even do half that stuff!!! LOL
ReplyDeleteA great book I found is "One-Handed in a two-handed world" by Tommye-Karen Mayer.
ReplyDeleteToo funny!!! I had to do #1 last week when I had a bad cold - my first post-stroke cold. I swear, some of it came out my tear ducts.
ReplyDeleteYou've inspired me to write an upcoming post. Dealing with frustration is a big part of a stroke survivor's life. Humor is a good way to handle it. Kuddos.
ReplyDeleteI am able handed and still have not mastered #5... I also liked your Top Ten Benefits list. Best wishes for an enjoyable Holiday!
