Satre writes an ode to the beauty of paper in Nausea and hearing the siren call of doomed paper, I could not resist the salvage. Unfortunately I have not been able to recover my left arm or hand as easily the paper. The nerves from shoulder into hand were ruptured, leaving the left hand seriously affected. I try to ignore what I can't undo, but typing is stressful and often painful. The diagnosis was CRPS I try to stay off computer because it aggravates condition. I've recovered perhaps 40% f left mobility, but no grip and the worst is I am left dominant. I cannot curl the fingers into fist. I am very good at dropping things. .I turned to working with paper to relieve me of anguish and because howling at moon in middle of night from acute pain would not jollify the neighbors in cement building.
