Tobe, Did you know that you can have "hand controls" put on your car?  It
would definitely be a wild ride if I ever tried it....I also can't feel my
feet nor do I know where they are unless I'm looking right at them. One of
the reasons that I now hate the dark.  I certainly feel lots of pain but
that's about it. I had hand controls put on my car and it sure made my life
so much better. In some states you can get some help paying for it. Tho I
was not able to get it here in Virginia. Please let me know if there is
anything I can do to help you with this? I think if you type in hand
controls for the handicapped you might find a list in New York. If you're
interested let me know and I'll help you find some info on it.
Have a great Thanksgiving
Trudy
