This is a late response to something that Julienne said a few weeks ago:
=20
" I'm even researching hand controls on my car, although my head=20
screams "Don't do that, you'll be better soon!" Well, after nine months =
I've=20
decided it is better to improve my current quality of life than wait for =
"soon"."
My advice to anyone who is thinking of having their car adapted is DO =
IT!!!!!=20
I had a hand control fitted to my car about 4 weeks ago and it has made =
a huge
difference to my lifestyle. It wasn't too expensive (=A3275) and I am =
now free to live my life
in my own time instead of having to ask for lifts all over the place. I =
have even gone back
to work for a couple of days each week which would have been very =
difficult to organise
if I didn't have transport. If I don't get much more improvement very =
quickly I won't have
sat around waiting for things to happen and if I recover and don't need =
the handle anymore
it will be a pleasure to get rid of it!!
I hope that persuades anyone who is hesitating, it took about 2 weeks =
to be confident=20
about driving it but as I'd been off the road for 6 months that may have =
something to do
with it ! Anyway hope everyone's doing ok
