    Left Foot Accelerator

    Tuesday, July 1, 2008, 05:07 PM [General]

    For those of you missing your right (like me) and can't drive with your prosthesis on (like me) there is an adaptive device that can be easily installed in your vehicle from Adaptive Driving Systems (888)595-3525. It costs just a little over $250.

    I can cross my left over to the right without a problem, but feel safer using my left accelerator. Just be sure to tell the valet or anyone else you let drive your car that the pedal is an accelerator - NOT a brake! (-;

    News That Made Me Smile!

    I just heard from Sybil about "The Unrecables" adaptive sports club because of a request I put out to the >4 universe some time ago. Thank you Sybil!!!  I have wanted to get back in a sports adventure group since ACES was dismembered (sorry, I should have said "disbanded.") A little sick Jo humour. (-:

    I am sooooo grateful to you Josh and the group you put together here because of this kind of social networking.

    LET'S SKI! I hear there's still some in Utah...

    Jo,
    Thank you for your input. I would be curious to know where you got your accelerator or have you had it for a while? The one I found on this site is $298 with free shipping. I think I will get one. I'm sure I would prefer it over hand controls. Thanks again. Pat

    i love your humor. being an upper amputee, i didn't feel it was disarming at all!! those that may be offended, just don't have a leg to stand on. LOL

    That horse story is fantastic! It's nice to hear such an inspiring story. I wish I had heard about it sooner!
