    One of my mentors in a trade got a tick bite in 82’, and for years couldn’t stand or walk, or fully close his hands. Never again could he fully close his hands, having to hold hammers and chisels with his thumbs only, making them extremely exhausting to use.

    The nerve damage is still getting worse, and now his only goal is to wrap up all his final projects before he physically can’t use his hands at all anymore.

    They scare the shit outta me
