Welcome to Hand-Hell: Changing Toilet Paper Rolls

Greetings, Readers!
Hand Hell Life Indignity #1 - Changing the Toilet Paper Roll
Changing TP, Yep This Sucks
Let's talk about a daily indignity for those with hand problems that most folks probably take for granted - changing the toilet paper roll in their bathroom.

For my fellow finger-tip challenged and the rheumatologically desperate, changing the TP roll is a complicated endeavor which can lead to excruciating failure at any minute. The springy tube that must be compressed for removal - well, that requires a surprising amount of fingertip pressure and dexterity. Decent folks who find that they are the one to change the toilet paper *every single time* may write it off as Murphy's Law, a fondness for wadding or a hamster sized bladder.

I find myself getting paranoid and rationing paper so I won't have to face the changing-of-the-tube. Sometimes I wonder if others in the household EVER change the tube, or do they ration their squares to stick me with the job? Right now, the left pinky and ring finger have ok skin on the finger tips, the rest have open sores, or crusty pre-sores. It's awkward, but the roll got changed today.

Am I the only person who dreads this?
