Hello Alton. I know this a pretty late response but I just wanted to say hello and hope that you are feeling better.
I'm also having alot of trouble with my shoulders - I guess I am asking quite a bit more of them now and they are complaining because they don't like their new job as legs.
If you can, get the hand controls. They are amazingly easy to use and have given me my freedom back. the only twinge I get is making a left turn in my right shoulder. I'm thinking that I may have damaged my rotater cuff (sp?) - previously I have snapped my collar bones.
:) have a great weekend, Deb C. in MI.

> I can not use my right foot for the brake

I lost my kinethetic senses in the right leg. If I pick my foot up off the gas pedal, I have no idea where it will come down. After driving a stick shift since the early '50's we had to trade in our Subaru for the same model with a slush pot. Bummer! For the next 8 years I drove a lot - even with an AFO on the ankle - keeping my heel down and lifting my toe. Braking was with the left foot.


Now I'm grounded with two blown shoulders, once again begging for rides.


Alton
