Here's a list of things that are hard to do with only one hand:

• Tie your shoes


• Button your pants


• Cut your food


• Carry more than one item at a time (i.e a plate full of food and a glass of milk)


• Washing your hands


• Squeezing shampoo out of the bottle- sure you can squeeze it out, but on to what?


• Squeezing toothpaste on to your toothbrush without the toothbrush falling off the counter


• Talking on the phone and taking a drink at the same time


• Tucking in your shirt


• Art's contribution: Wiping your butt with your non-dominant hand


• Loading/unloading the dishwasher (maybe that's just Art regardless if injury)


• Drying dishes


• If it's your dominant hand, writing


• Hanging clothes on the clothes line


• Welding (Although, that didn't stop Art from trying. He has the burn holes on his splint to prove it, too)


• Drying yourself after a shower


• Shaving (it's dangerous with one hand let alone using your non-dominant hand)


• Using a pitchfork to feed hay to cows (this may not apply to many people...)


• Changing sheets on the bed


• Blowing your nose

I'm sure there will be more added to this list, but this is just what we've come up with in the last three days. As the next 8-12 weeks pass we'll add more things, I'm sure!
