Dear Group, I want to thank everyone who suggested I use hand controls. I am very embarrassed to say that I did try them soon after I came home from the hospital, thinking the independence would be great for me. Unfortunately I am too uncoordinated.......... even though I was telling my brain my hands were now in control, the message would go to my feet. I couldn't figure it out!!!!! I was actually in a minor accident so I decided to forget about driving and concentrate on walking!!! The roads are alot safer without me on them. Always with love and appreciation, Tobe Brooklyn NY :O)
