It's surprising how independent you can be if you just change what you are working with.

This is just one site; there are others.  An occupational therapist gave this to me, so the items are more professional, quality, and expensive.  If you don't know about something, ask.  Also when you get something, you can request OT for training.  Medicare will pay for 1 month, and sometimes 1 extension.

For cooking, utensils, etc. there is Oxo Good Grips.  I found their scissors useful, http://www.oxo.com/OA_HTML/xxoxo_ibeCCtpOXOPrdDtl.jsp?section=10069&item=46759&minisite=10024&respid=53057.  I only had to squeeze them.  And they worked with my left hand

Somebody once asked me about Velcro shoes, and if there are any that look good.  Well there is one brand that does a lot of Velcro shoes, Skechers, http://www.skechers.com/.  They've added a lot, and ladies, they now have flats with a Velcro strap (I have some).
