@revdorth Hi Dorothy, thank you for this amazing srory about your daughter who hasn't allowed her polio to overtake her life and has been driving using her hands only and is now a driver for Lyft! I love this encouraging story and am sure you are a very proud Mother. I am 73 years old and have just loved driving my entire adult life. This neuropathy diagnosis for me has really brought my mental thoughts overtake my daily lfe, but now am very encouraged that I'll be able to drive again. My current issue is that I need to find a vhicle that can accomidate my 6'6" body in comfort without fatiging too quickly. I am now learning how to drive at an instructional center for neuro-related illnesses who are helping me, but I need to soon buy a vehicle and have an outside Mobility installation company povide the necessary equipment to drive using my hands only. Being as tall as I am, mosy, if not all, SUVs aren't capable of providing space for my legs after installing equipment. Therefore I am needing to have my wife take me around from dealer to dealer to sit in the driver seat and determine leg space. If there are any other people in my situation who have already gone through this, I'd love to hear your findings.
