I guess, Ping Burgerman, Alistair J Murray (he was always a nice dude, does anyone keep in touch with him? Remember, he had an Alpina B10 that was really cool?) and anyone else really that knows anything.
I mentioned this elsewhere, but for those that didn't read - I was in a lot of pain Saturday night, had to had a doc visit and stuff, but just a painkiller shot, nothing out of the ordinary. Woke up Sunday AM, and I couldn't move my legs hardly at all. Hardly at all is now virtually not at all, slight toe movement. They still have feeling all over, get cold, warm, itch, can feel pressure/touch/scratching etc - although it seems to vary all over as to how sensitive they are. It appears to be that the tumor is probably squashing the nerves somewhere. D'oh :-(
Anyway, that sucked, but realistically, it seems unlikely they're gonna get better. Now, I know disabled people drive, and my arms both work perfectly. So I guess I want some kinda, hand controls on the wheel for the accelerator and brakes - in an Auto? I beleive AJM had this in his Alpina? In a regular car this would mean getting out of the chair and into the car of course - not sure how doable this is, but I guess, with a slide board, chair side off an just slide in - and have someone on hand to take the chair into the boot, then help me at the other end of the journey etc - but that would be ok.
So I guess really, erm, help? I don't know anything about this stuff, and never thought I'd have to - it was a bit of a shock, as you can all probably guess. My legs had been a bit wobbly, but I just assumed it was cos I hadn't been doing much at all, and they were weak. Where do I wanna be looking for advice and getting stuff done? Also, a few test drives would be handy cos I've never used hand controls of course. Am I best just to get a Motability car and let them sort it? Or buy this something like this -
Any help or advice greatly appreciated :-)
Absolutely gutted that it looks like I won't be driving the Clio again - although, last time I drove it, I did drive it nice and hard hehe. Fair breaks my heart to look out the window and see it just sittin there in the garden though, all unabused and in need of a proper detail (although at least it is cleanish and waxed).
