Brothers Jacob, 23, and Joshua, 21, have been dealing with severe degenerative joint issues, navigating a health care system that does not treat young people with respect, and trying like hell to advocate for themselves and maintain mindfulness.   Vertical Mouse used by both brothers. Since high school, Jacob was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and Joshua with subluxation of the ECU (extensor carpi ulnaris) tendon in both wrists and ECU instability.   Both live with their parents and are finding ways to re-learn, re-prioritize, and re-define success.   You can find more of Jacob’s music on music platforms under the name “hasma”.  Click below for the full song “itamu” which we play on the program. Here’s Joshua’s vertical keyboard, photographed from two angles.   These two young men became unexpectedly disabled as they were on the cusp of adulthood.  They face the uncertainty of their future with intelligence and courage.   The post Young, Relearning & Coping – Pushing Limits – September 8, 2023 appeared first on KPFA.
