Y’all whining about driving a stick in traffic got nothing on me.
I tore my left Achilles’ tendon and had to wear an air boot for a while.
I got real good at shifting without clutching.

Long ago, ankle in a cast...go into work extra early and use cruise control on the expressway.
“I can’t believe you did that “
Did what?
“ You almost hit my car”
‘but I didn’t did I?
How am I going to get out?
I noticed they were still eating. “I’ll be gone before you are finished”

A knee injury had me in a “long leg cast”. Seated in the driver’s seat, the cast positioned my right heel where my toes should have been. Nonetheless. I’d just bought my BMW, and was GOING to drive it.
It’s a little tricky, but by pulling my toes backwards, my heel went forward so I could accelerate ok. Braking with my left foot paid dividends in later years when the BMW got “tracked” on a race track, where left-foot braking is useful to keep control in fast turns.
