I had the same issue with my hands for almost 2 1/2 years, never thought I would get any improvement in them. My teeth were also badly neglected during that time, I remember my daughter bought me an electric toothbrush, but I could not even turn it on. I have paid dearly for that neglect. I did learn some things in rehab & on my own. I keep all of my button shirts buttoned, just pull them over my head. I also keep my bra done up & pull that over my head as well. I used to use a buttoner to help me, although I can do buttons now.
I cut my fingernails & toenails now with a toenail clipper, but not using just the two fingers (they are not strong enough.) Instead I grip them with my palms & squeeze, it took until last spring for me to do that. I use one of those rubber sheets to open bottles or jars. I use a fatter pen to write with & make sure my elbow is resting on the table. I use a razor-edged letter opener to open my mail. We buy half gallons of milk instead of whole gallons. I went to Autopay for most of my bills, or pay them on-line. There are so many little changes I have had to make, but now I can’t even remember doing things the old way.
