[nabs-l] Audio books

[Carly Mihalakis]

Afternoon, Justin,

         I took especial notice of your describing problems that 
plague your touch, which have proven to be such that you do not, can 
not, access braille. Do you mind elaborating on such problems a 
little? You mentioned having nerve issues. Mine have their origins 
upstairs. Nerves are fine, but communication seems to break down when 
my brain goes to interpret the lay-out of the tiny braille cell, a 
result of what they are calling tactile appraxia, or the inability of 
hand/foot to communicate in an accurate fashion with brain.
