All stores sell bagged salad stuff, just needs to open a bottle of
dressing. Smoothies are pretty easy to prepare with one hand. All
manner of egg dishes need only one hand. I'd keep the menu for the
local Chinese take out handy. Food shouldn't present a problem... and
I'd be pleased to help with her bra, I'm an expert at unclasping one
handed!
