You did this one up right,didn't ya.
Experimentation is a good thing. You're helping others that may wind up in the same predicament

Moral of the story is: Don't climb up something to take a leak

OK, since I'm always looking for the bright side, I was thinking that due to the unique nature of your injury, you may actually get better care and newer treatments than someone with a less "special" injury. At least I hope that is the case.

We're pulling for you, Hans.

Or maybe they will have slipped in bionic parts

The Six-Million Dollar Spud...

I've been lowering my dosage of narcotics for the past few days and switching to Advil, I am completly off them for 24 hours so hey I had to get out to vote right?







so.

















I drove today.



I gave boosty a call, he thought I took too many meds and went on a joyride

From a legal standpoint I will probably still need to get hand controls or left foot gas pedal (need to check dmv laws etc).....but I AM ABLE TO DRIVE with my right foot even though I cant move it.

You probably wondering how? well GM made a good gas pedal and my AMO? or whatever brace, that is the piece of plastic that holds my foot at a 90* angle, anyway that thing afo or amo or whatever allows me to control the throttle by moving my foot up, my heal catches the bottom of the pedal and I can hold throttle, if i want WOT I need to actually shift position in my car seat but for normal driving I can give a little throttle by just moving my foot up and down. Braking obviously is the important part, this is done by my left foot and I am very good at it and can stop smoothy. a left foot gas pedal would obviuosly be easier, but I did drive about 5 miles today with a few WOT runs. (farmers road of course with no traffic).

I probably will also need to MAX OUT my car insurance to make sure I can legally drive with my left foot. I will probably also dish out the cash for comprehensive.


Other good news is that so far my out of pocket expenses are still under $2000 (barely) that is bills I have guessed on and received and that assumes the surgeries are approved.



So I am able to drive (sorta...not in traffic yet lol)......but I did make it 5 blocks to the polling place and out on some country roads by my house.

That'* some good news! Glad you were able to have some fun today.

You Drove your car? please be careful.

I'm getting a handicap sticker/plates soon and am going to call around tomorrow to find out what I have to do to drive "to make the insurance companies happy"

either way I probably wont be driving for a while until I get everything figured out. I have enough frozen dinners stockpiled for about 3 weeks and enough oatmeal and cereal for at least that much time as well. therefore I dont really need to go anywhere. I had to vote though. the govener race in idaho is a dead tie according to the polls so I had to represent.

All you neede now is get into an accident and make it worse. But congrats, on losing the drug and learning to deal with the issue!!
