Blind, Deaf and Tetraplegic

Erick, the Caregiver

After that first torturous week, we decided it would be best to hire someone to look after me while Hanna was at work. The caregiver Hanna chose was named Erick. He was a writer that cared of disabled people to complement the little earnings that came from his books. He used to write in my bedroom while looking after me.

Now I had someone to share my thoughts during the entire day. This helped a lot, although I still missed more complex answers and faster communication. I started to imagine how his answers would be if they didn't have to be so concise.

—The French Revolution was indirectly responsible for Brazil's development that started in 1808. Napoleon was the one who cornered the Portuguese Royal Family to its colony causing the modernization of the country... Imagine a story about a guy that, out of nowhere, decided to crash his car into a wall. It would be really crazy to investigate his mind and how he reached that decision... What if Hitler had won the WW2? What would have happened? Would Brazil be a Nazi country nowadays?... A tale about a crazy man trying to advocate his madness would be interesting...

By the twitching technique, he answered me:

—You, ideas book

It sounded to me something like that:

—Your thoughts are very interesting. Books could be made of some of those ideas. And I could write them if you allowed.

— Erick, if you wanna use something I told or will tell you to write your books, I allow.

He touched my forehead, thanking me.
