I would like to say something on behalf of Mr. Berlew and his epic battle between his thumb and the glass golumn.
4 years ago I had a ladder accident that hyper-extended the connective and nerve tissues in my left arm when I was left hanging because the ladder animated and wiggled out from underneath me, then the ladder lay on the ground laughing at me.
I am still dealing with pain, stiffness, lack of strength, and fine manipulation. On days where a low pressure wander within 100 miles of where I am I hurt more. On cold days, I get to hurt more for that too. Mr. Berlew is still early on in his recovery, so doing art work, it is not only difficult, but painful to -of this I am reasonably sure even though we have never met.
Please be patient with him. This was a severe blow to him, I would imagine.
Thank you for your time spent reading my rant.
