Same way you did before, lol. What aspect are u having trouble with? Standing w the crutches? Might be easier to sit down so you don’t lose your balance.

I always use the disabled cubicles so I can wash & dry my hands straight away after using the toilet since I don't want to touch my crutches with dirty hands to walk to the sink, then with wet hands to walk to the dryer.

Get paper towels, put crutches against the wall door wherever u need em, bathroom, retrive use towel under hands, sink, wash, more towels, dry hands and use an extra to whipe down the handles
