Summary: Recommended by Strokesurvivors International
Comment: Several of our strokesurvivor members/and caregivers have read this book and reviewed it. Our Strokesurvivors International website books page is http://strokesurvivors.homepage.com/BooksP/index.htm Our RN/Social worker (and a Stroker) wrote about this book: "I have read Living OneHanded in a Two handed World by Tommye Mayer several times and consider it to be my bible.The range of topics covered in this book is phenomenal! Until I found this book, the simple act of dressing myself in the morning became a battle with overwhelming frustration because I couldn't get my clothes on correctly. Simple tips in this book allowed me to master dressing myself with ease. And probably kept me from surrendering to depression by just staying in bed all day. I consider it a Must read for anyone with the challenge of having only one functional hand."

Summary: practical ideas
Comment: This book is a practical guide for managing one-handed. It's very concreteness is a refreshing antidote to the usual experiential approach and, besides, its helpful. While one could figure many things out on one's own, it is a good starting point that by its nature encourages the attitude that there are ways to do things. Also it is a guide to the kinds of gadgets that can be useful, especially for those whose one-handedness is more than a temporary inconvenience--knives, cutting boards, etc. My main quibble is with those parts that instruct in how-to,e.g., tie shoelaces. Like the usual how-to instructions for putting barbecues together, wiring stereo, systems, etc., they are hard to follow. The verbal instructions are accompanied by blurry photographs. A series of line drawings would have been better..I gave up in frustration and figured out my own method.

There is a nice set of photos of how to tie shoes there, and discussion of this book. I'm glad this book is available.
