Salt shaker failure

 When shaking salt on light colored food like eggs the standard way to make sure you don't oversalt is to shake some into your open hand. That can't even be attempted in my case, the only way I can get my hand to some semblance of openness is to grab my left thumb with my good hand and crank it down, thus leaving no hand to shake the salt. My doctor did nothing for my hand recovery and my occupational therapist told me that research showed that if you couldn't open your hand at 6 weeks you likely would not recover that hand. Not what I wanted to hear, but she turned out to be correct. although I haven't tried mirror therapy on a consistent basis yet, mainly because there are no protocols on how to use it.
