Guest guest Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 Thanks Jo- do intend to look into this, but as I stated, a bit down the road- at this point, it hurts too much to even get to the car- let alone get to it, get in it - then drive it, but once Ive built some of those muscles up again, I may not even need those eh? Love and Hugs Back TJ Hi TJ, it certainly might be worth looking into the options of adapting a car to make it drivable for you Darl. I'm currently having to look at systems devised for paralysis ijusries as both my legs are useless and my upper body strenth isn't very good due to shoulder, elbow and neck instabilties. I'm determined to get driving again though as the freedom and indepence is becoming more inportant to me as I loose more and more capabilities in other every day areas now. Try discussing things with a loca OT department or even an OS, they will most likley be able to assess you and suggest the best options for you. I hope that you can get a system that allows you to driver again TJ. I take my insiration from a racing driver colleague who suffered a traumatic above knee amputation of both legs in a horrific racing accident. Two year on, he is not only walking again, but also racing in a modified car and designing his own prosthetic legs! Take care TJ and good luck, Love and hugs....Jo xx To learn more about EDS, visit our website: http://www.ceda.ca ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
