As of today I am officially withdrawn from UMASS. I really didn't want to but my escalating condition and other various life stress makes it pretty damn hard to concentrate on classes. My right hand has swollen back up again, so I once again cannot comfortably hold a pen most of the time. The ability to write is kind of needed for college so I would have been massively fucked between absences and inability to take notes. I was already in danger of failing via absences within the first week.
So yeah, no pen holding also means tablet pen, so anything submitted will probably be vector until I reteach myself to draw with a mouse or learn to use my left hand (though my left hand could start being effected at any time.) This being said I also will have issues sewing, so this means no commissions, which is rather depressing for me since I have gotten so many requests for plush in the last couple of weeks and I am not physically able to do it.
You could always have recorded your teacher's lectures. I understand that most universities allow students with physical issues to have this option.
Also, it's probably not a good idea to be typing if you can't even hold a pen. Just saying.
I hope you get better soon.
I can rely mostly on it for typing and just not bend my fingers for when I need two. Way more wrist movement then finger movement but I can still do decently, just too slow for lecture notes etc. I wouldn't want to record them only because I tried that before and it was two fuzzy and nothing could really be made out and I lost a day's worth of notes.
UMASS doesn't even have medical leave, hence why I had to drop the whole college, enough proof for them would probably require me to be legally disabled which as of now I am not. Hopefully by the fall I will either be on disability or better and I can reapply then, but as of now even with accommodations there is still the factors of things like being kept up at night by it and being unable to safely drive there, being unable to have doctor's appointments because of being in class and things like that.
