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.
