@sean92008 You mentioned not being able to hold a fork for more than a few minutes. How does typing work for you, do you do it in spurts or is typing (computer) not an issue? Seriously asking.
I use nearly 100% voice recognition. If you watch and refresh the page frequently you'll see me make a post and go back and then edit over and over correcting spelling, punctuation and stuff like that. I also hate voice recognition, not just cuz it's inaccurate but it spells cuz c u z. That is not how the fucking word is spelled it is because with an apostrophe in place of the be. Fucking Google has gotten worse in the last 10 years. I do not believe that's an accident, by the way.
Most embarrassing is when I leave a voicemail for somebody and I actually say,
. When I say the word c o m m a and n e w p a r a g r a p h. The old voice recognition system would also do things like quotation marks, semicolon, and colon with no problem.
When I am asked to type something on a computer, like at a law office recently, I asked for voice recognition or I won't do it. Funny enough, when I was going to neurologist and all sorts of doctor people's offices, I would be asked to fill out multiple pages of paperwork. I would always tell these offices before booking me that this was not going to happen and that they have to have voice recognition friendly documents online. Sure, I could write a paragraph, and I can be fucked for the rest of the week while I'm waiting for shit to get better.
PS I'm going to name-drop here... Tony Visconti gave me a lot of grief when he found out about my situation. Other than being a charming New Yorker, he knew of some of my issues with overdoing stuff and coming up with 16 remixes, etc. From back in the early '90s. He did have some good practical lessons about body posture and keyboard typing. I guess he was fucking his body up on a mixing board reaching and doing fine manipulation. He's into something like taekwondo feng shui stuff and, not to be disrespectful, I don't know the name of it.
Well Tony made the recommendation to put the keyboard on my lap keep my elbows in to my body not to spread them out past my shoulder width doing a complete straight elbow drop and then typing on your lap allows your body to endure a lot more. Common sense for the most part, yes, but when I started doing that, I did have a lot easier time working with keyboards and a mouse.
I'm also being careful not to dox myself, Tony knew me by another name 😈 although, for a couple times I may have been in touch with him under my real name.
