A Tough Day

Dear Friends,

I am having a tough day. My spelling has been so sloppy. This has been happening for a few weeks, though some days are fine. It is so scary to lose proficiency in my lifeline. My work takes longer and I get frustrated and worried. It is so stressful.

Tara has noticed since it started. She has been working hard to clean up my technique. But I get irritated with her being strict, even though it is needed.

I am not sure why this is happening. My typing has been more erratic for a few months, but I only type when transcribing my spelled words. Tara noticed that, too.

Don’t worry, I don’t think it is a neurological disease or anything like that. It might be a lot of things. But I have had a CRP who was not being careful, and I think that allowed me to develop bad habits. I should have told Tara sooner. But I was not wanting to lose a CRP, even if they weren’t supporting my communication well.

It is so important for all CRPs to be mindful and follow best practices. It can disrupt my communication even with an excellent CRP like Tara. To all CRPs, please take this seriously. It is about my access to reliable communication, which is so vital to my well-being.  Sloppy CRPs endanger that.

I will try to rest more and hope that it lets me be more resilient to this stress. Tara is leaving soon for a work trip of one month, but our sister is an excellent CRP, too, so she can help me unlearn these bad habits. We are going to work on basics again, and my mom also will help.

That is all for now. Hope you are all doing well!

Your Friend,

Danny
