Well thats it. Can I just wash once and recite both brochos. I'm not sure in which order I would do them but I suppose I would do Asher Yotzar first. Or do have to wash twice
do I have to wash twice after I was excused and still need to wash for Hamotzy as well

Not sure if what im doing is correct, but i wash, make an Asher Yotzar, I then (like Eitza said) touch my hair or something and wash for Netilas Yadayim. i'm almost sure that i heard one Paskan (dont quote me) that one can wash each hand once, make the Asher Yotzar and then wash each hand a second time for Netilas Yadayim. Can someone confirm one way or another?
Btw, speaking of Netilas Yadayim, has anyone ever stopped to think about the Koach of Chazal that's reflecting from Netilas Yadayim? Think about it...
a)מן התורה its not possible to be partially טמ×, is either the whole body or none. The Halucha of ×¡×ª× ×™×“×™×™× (as in only the hands are טמ×) is from the Chazal
b)×¡×ª× ×™×“×™×™× is ×©× ×™ לטומ××”
c)חולין can only become a ר×שון לטומ××”, which means that ×¡×ª× ×™×“×™×™× can not be ×ž×˜×ž× ×—×•×œ×™×Ÿ to make it a שלישי לטומ××” (not even if it was תרומה only קודש).
d)חולין does not need to be eaten בטהרה especially in nowadays (whereטומ××” וטהרה is for the most part not enforced)
e)If one chooses to eat חולין בטהרה, they would need to wash for all foods, not only bread
f)The VERY same piece of bread can make contact with an ×ב הטומ××” (Nida or a dead bug) which actually CAN make the bread a ר×שון לטומ××”, but that doesn't concern us, nor are we even attempting to be careful, but we ARE concerned with ×¡×ª× ×™×“×™×™× which can never make the bread טמ×.
g)Considering all this, we still make a Brucha B'shem u'malchus!
There's a famous story of a מסור a big בעל עבירה who observed ONLY the Mitzvah of Netilas Yadayim. One day, "on his way" to a מסורה, he wanted to eat bread, but he could not find water for Netilas Yadayim, the hours moved along, but he could still not find water for Netilas Yadayim. The man refused to eat the bread without Netilas Yadayim and as a result he ended up dead (from starvation). As he died it was announced that because the Masures Nefesh for Netilas Yadayim, he is a ben Olam Haba (or will go to Gan Eidan, dont remember). Imagine....
How amazingly amazing the Chazal were with there Koach Hatorah! Think about it the next time you wash your hands for Netilas Yadayim.

This is a Mefurashe Simon in Shulcah Oruch. Orach Chaim 165 speaks about this case in full. He brings two Shittos. The first is to make 2 brochos and the second Shittoh is to make Asher Yotzar while cleaning your hands and and afterwards Al NeTillas Yodayim whilst you dry your hands.

R. Yitzchak Abadi rules that one should wash once and first say al netilas yadayim and then asher yatzar.

I always thought that you were supposed to wash under the tap (in which case you would not be qualified to make the bracha 'al netilas') then say Asher Yotzar. Step 2 would be to then touch a usually covered part of the body, thus requiring ones hands to be washed again, and then to proceed with washing with a keli, and continue as one would normally. But then again I often get things in halacha quite wrong, so maybe its better not to follow my advice.
