Airplane food

With luck I didn't spill anything on myself. The jelly packet was squeezed from the bottom directly on the uncut croissant, I can't cut any piece of bread in half, and I can't spread either butter or jam.  The ice cream tub was too big to properly fit between my fingers and it is impossible to fit in my left hand due to the spasticity.  Luckily no one was beside me so my left elbow didn't attack anyone while I was eating. Getting off the foil tops of the food was quite the challenge.

You can almost see the curve of the wrist due to spasticity which is the reason I can't hold any glasses upright. The fingers will never stay straight for long. I have probably passively flexed each one of them at least 500,000 times.  I would like to know EXACTLY how many more times I have to do that before my spasticity goes away.  THAT is what our stroke associations and researchers need to solve.  Useful stuff like that, not the prediction crapola that seems to be common.
