Member-only story
In Hand
The tension builds. Everything snaps apart.
If you’ve been following me on social media, you might be aware of the complicated and painful medical mystery I have been living out for the last couple of weeks. But for the sake of getting the narrative down, titillating all of my readers who have a keen interest in the workings and failings of the body, and providing an update on what’s next for me, I’m going to outline the entirety of the Hand Saga right here.
At the end of the piece I will explain a little bit about where I am currently at, functioning-wise and in my course of treatment, and what you can expect from my future writings in the next couple of weeks (and most likely, months) as I continue to sort this issue out.
Everything that is written here was initially composed using voice-to-text, particularly the Google voice-to-text function on my Pixel 4a (which seems to do a far better job of interpreting my speech and including punctuation and capitalization than any other voice transcription app I’ve tried so far — send me your recommendations if you use this kind of technology a lot!). After drafting the piece in voice, I edited all of it manually, but if you notice any differences in the flow of my writing or glaring errors, it’s because I am learning to do my work in a completely new way.
