My insurance covered the hand control set up or I wouldn't have been able to
afford it, either. I didn't realize the left foot accelerator was more
affordable and easy to put in and take out! The hand control is a bit
bothersome for regular drivers who are taller and longer legged than I am wh
Yes, I did consider the left foot accelerator, Heather, but then had hand
controls installed in my car instead. I then found I just didn't use them. I
took my driver's test not using them but felt safer knowing they were there if
I needed them. The person that gave me my driver's test asked i
I don't have one, Patti, and ran into the same problem as you as far as having

Yes Kim I agree with you about how easy it is to put on and off. Even I can
put it on if my husband forgets to put it back after he has driven. I need to
put a mat on the floor of the garage, get on my hands and knees (not easy) and
manœuvre it in place. I have perfected the technique now and

Jeanne,
Have you thought of getting a 'left-foot accelorator'? I had to do that so I
could get my licence again It is an ingenious and simple device. Takes a
little while to wrap your head around the concept of using your left foot for
everything. The regular gas pedal is covered by a metal
Hi Patti - I too need a walker to get around don't go to supermarkets

Hello All:
I need some assistance. First I am able to walk with a walker, but not too
far. When I go shopping most of the large stores have electric carts which
really come in handy. However, there are some smaller stores that either
don't have the electric carts or have regular wheel chairs
Hi Jude, I can help you understand the "why can someone walk yet not feel.."
It's because motor nerves and sensory nerves are TWO different pathways. So
it's possible for the sensory path to be destroyed, yet have the motor path
remain intact.
For me, my right leg feels touch but not pain (or n
Hello, dear Jude! I just read your note to Terry about walking with no
sensation to the feet? Such exciting and wonderful news!!
That is how I walk and it is true about having to watch your feet. At home I
don't so much since it's more comfortable but I still fall into the walls
often. I al
