AW: AW: [sw-l] ASL Sign for Chemotherapy?

[Stefan Wöhrmann]

Ha Bill – of course it could be written that way – and this has been one of
my own deleted variations ;-))  – you are the scribe – smile – 

 

Well on the other hand – I personally would not prefer that – why ?

 

Somehow the shoulder line is like a barrier – 

 

As a scribe I try to find the Gestalt that looks like a easy to understand
unit -

 

For the informed reader it should be no problem but the uninformed reader
will hesitate .. since the gap between the pinky and the contact star is a
little bit of a problem. 

 

But as I mentioned before there are a lot of options to think of and future
and your readers – and you yourself will develop a feeling for the best
three spellings (smile).

 

That is the reason to create sometimes different variations in spelling
which differ just from the arrangement but not from the information
regarding hand shape and all the other parameters.

 

Good luck 

 

Stefan ;-))

Thanks, Stefan.  I like your b) choice. 
Could it also be written this way - to indicate that it's just below the
shoulder?

Hi Bill, 

 

attached you find my suggestion how to write the sign as I understand your
description. 

 

There are always several different options ... smile – and it depends on how
detailed the spelling is needed. 

 

Looking at your spelling – the palm is down not up – so this way it is
difficult for the pinky to touch the breast. 

 

All the best

 

Stefan ;-)

A member of my late-deafened support group was trying to describe a sign he
had just learned for "chemo" (chemotherapy).   He described it this way:





"Open four hand, palm up, tap pinky to the chest where a port
would be - just below the shoulder joint, in the meat of the
pectoral muscle"
 

That's a little ambiguous to me as I don't know which hand or shoulder, if
the fingers are splayed or if the little finger touches once or twice.  If I
take it to be the right hand's little finger touching the chest just below
the right shoulder, palm up, thumb tucked, fingers splayed, touching just
once, would this be correct?
