Well I drove to the Winn Dixie, got some groceries, came home, and put them away.

The thing is, my car just had hand controls installed, and this is the first day I've driven it since the late Mrs. Sulla and I bought it on October 31, 2005. I will be getting a power wheelchair from my insurance company by the end of the month, so I will be able to drive anywhere and wheel around wherever folks can walk. Except for limited trips to the doctors and grocery store I have been trapped in my house for just under three years!

Well, I bet that felt good to get out on your own then! I’m a hermit, but even I can appreciate it’s not fun not being ~able~ to get out. So is there any hazardous learning curve on the hand controls driving in public, or was it pretty easy to handle?

Don’t feel bad, I don’t get out much either...

Congrats on the new mobility! It has to feel good to be more independent now. Here’s hoping the new chair comes through on time!

That’s just great news LCS. I know it’s got to feel like you have your freedom back.
