you still have one hand so you can still like scrub a dub dub dub, but
You know, how you would normally do it
You have to be willing to believe in yourself and to believe in your story and to believe that there's more that we're going through
And that what you're going through is going to bring you
Further into who you're supposed to be and your calling and find the good in it
So welcome back to my channel if it's your first time here
My name is Kristie Sita and we post videos every Wednesday and Fridays guys today. I am so excited for this video we are
doing
The top 5 things that are hardest to do as an amputee, especially when you have one hand
It's not like the things that you would typically be like, oh I bet this is really hard
it's like the small things that are more so frustrating rather than hard because
Y'all already know that I can do anything that I want to so we're just gonna go over the things that are difficult
You know annoying. So first things first, we're gonna start off with one of my biggest most frustrating things, which is
Doing my bed sheets because you guys know with two hands how hard it is to do your bed sheets with two hands
Okay, two hands it's hard, right, so imagine it with one hand. Just imagine. Just imagine
Yeah, that's what I thought
So for this first one
I'm gonna show you guys
how the heck I do it with one hand and how frustrating it is and you're gonna laugh don't be afraid to laugh if you're
New to my channel. We always laugh. It's just a it's just a funny thing
I went down below what you guys think of every situation and how you thought I was gonna do it
So leave a bunch of comments down below
Let me know what you expected and what I actually did and I want to hear from you guys the first thing we're starting off
With is like I said, how would you my bed? So here we go. Let's do the bed
Okay. So first things first, we're gonna start with the bottom sheet. That's gonna go on top of my mattress is always the hardest
It's got the stinking scrunchie things all over it. That doesn't fit down normally and then you left
So first things first, we need to figure out which part is even on the side
That's a side
Okay, so I think I've got these edges right so I
Just like stick my stump on
The inside of it and then I pull it over. I know this is the fun part
Oh
And you see that it's already off guys
Attempt number two keep an eye on it back there.
Yeah, okay last corner
All right, let's do it again, oh my gosh the other side house freaking come off - look
The next thing is going to be getting my
Bed sheet over top of my bed sheet, you know first things first. I put my stump inside to try and get to a corner
Okay, now my stump is in the corner here I still have my other hand here
Now my hand is in the other corner
Right come and give me a big hug guys
So now I've got my stump in my hand
Now what we do is we put the bedsheet into these holes
Hold this whole side up into my mouth so I can slide it into the side
All right now then I'm gonna put this corner
Is in this corner
Now we let it fall a little bit
Should be almost done go you gave the tea turn which just goes like this
You got okay so that's the tea turn and now just grab the other corners
And
That's my bed. So you can see how doing and making my bed is a little bit of a struggle
It's normally just trial and error every single time doesn't really get easier doesn't really have a strategy
You know, you just got to keep going keep trying
Entertaining right. Did you think I was gonna do it that way didn't think so next. We have a kind of funny one
So, how do I shave my right armpit you might ask?
Obviously my left is like fine, right? You know, I can reach so what happens when you have to go like this
I'm gonna show you and we're gonna go to the bathroom. So here we go
Just kidding I'm gonna shave my armpits I'm not actually shaving my armpits
I'm just showing you what I have to do kind of like a little like mm stretch, you know
so I have to like shrug my shoulder as high as I can and then flip and
Then kind of do this like weird thing or like this. That's what I do. It's just like this really weird rotation
Kind of weird kind of funny, I don't know. What did you guys think? Whatever you think I also don't really care
I mean I care because I love you guys, but I have to shave my armpits somehow so I mean
That's how I do it and then on that note with hygiene. Okay, so obviously I'm a very clean person
Don't get me wrong, but they are challenging tasks. So another one is washing my face, which this is something I can completely do
It's just frustrating. It's just annoying. I just hate doing it
I'm like giving myself a stump rub it in my face, which is just weird and gross and weird, you know, so, um
Yeah, here's a look at that
Washing my face is actually really really really
Difficult, which is something you wouldn't never really imagined
I would assume because you're like oh, well, you still want him so you can still like scrub a dub dub dub
but I really like boom, you know, like you would normally do it you're watching face, but I have to like kinda like
Yeah, grab my whole face kind of and like it's just not very relaxing it's not very nice
it's good when I do try and use my stuff, I'm like
Like
Mmm, with that being said I'm gonna show you what that looks like me washing my face. So, uh cue me washing my face
Not fun guys, not fun
What else is hard, okay
another really annoying thing is
Buttons, I hate buttons buttons are literally from The Devil's
They're so annoying and
especially when you're trying to like
Wiggle and like hold one up and then do the other run up and then Whittle them through just think about like think about it
I'm sure you guys hate buttons because everyone hates buttons and then you take away one of your hands and you're completely
Unfunctional when it comes to buttons and it's just so frustrating and last but not least guys
You guys already know this struggle, but it's obviously in the kitchen. Okay. Yeah. I'm an amputee in the kitchen
I'm just trying to cook some food
but meanwhile
I'm slapping my chicken and I'm doing all the things trying to do the things and get them done and do them properly and
Not get salmonella
So here's just a little montage of all my cooking situations that have happened pretty much I just you know
Literally
And yeah guys that's pretty much my top frustrating things
