Rehab failures at Stanfest, Stan Rogers Folk Festival, Canso Nova Scotia

Lots of things that were never covered in my needed ADLs.

Tent dressing. I obviously didn't do enough bridging exercises, trying to get on pants and underwear laying on your back one-handed is nigh impossible. At Winnipeg Folk Festival I just throw my clothes out the tent and go to the picnic shelter tables to get dressed. At Stanfest there are no tables to do that. And since I have a small one person tent I hit the sides a lot rolling around. 

 

Carrying food and drink in one pass. With the complete failure to have any useful carrying ability with the left hand I have to either make multiple trips or balance food on top of the coffee cup. The 20 yard walk with my desserts balanced on the cup was successful but very slow.

Rolling up tent fly. The toggle connectors on the tent are challenging to do one handed. Holding the tent flap in place while slipping the toggle into its loop required many passes before success. I didn't have to do the last resort thing and bite the tent flap in place to attach the toggle. 

Eating Pad Thai with chopsticks. I forgot that this comes with long noodles and no way to shorten them, chopsticks were the only utinsils available.  Since I wanted to listen to music while eating this meant putting it in my lap in my stadium chair and leaning over the bowl was difficult since my butt has sunk two inches lower into the chair. Luckily no one was watching me spill bits of Pad Thai over my shirt

 

All these problems are ruining my social life.
