Microwave challenges

Microwaves are built for two handed use. One hand to open the door, one hand to put the food in or out. Since my microwave is above my stove, it is totally impossible for me to use the correct way.

1. I might be able to get my left arm  to my shoulder height but not while doing anything else.

2. I can't get my hand to open under any circumstances unless my right hand prys it open.

3. If I place my left hand around the handle with my good right hand, the only way I can get it off is by either tearing off the door or pulling the complete microwave off the shelf. 

I see no help in solving this until my spasticity is completely cured, so the rest of my life will be spent compensating for that spasticity. Another 40 years. Half my life will be spent dealing with stroke deficits.  A lot of people would go into a full blown depression just thinking about that. And our stroke medical professionals and fucking failures of stroke associations are not helping solve this.  

I blame that lack of spasticity cure directly at Dr. William M. Landaus' feet because of this totally misguided crapola of his.

Good stroke leadership from survivors and a strategy could have gotten around  his blockade. Schadenfreude would be too good for him.
