I agree with the others, let it go until you are medically released to drive proper. Chances are you are on pain killers. They mask the pains and let you do more than you should do. I know this first hand. Had some for back issues. I would not feel the pains and over do it physically. Then the real pains hit!

If you are set on driving a manual transmission, many posters have suggested good ideas. Crutch, broom handle, ready-rod, ect. I WOULD NOT run anything through the steering wheel. NEVER! Not smart.

I do know a man that worked for the railroad in the late 70's. He had an accident and a rail car ran over him. His legs were amputated between the hip and knee, both of them.

He had several businesses, plant nursery, logging, bulldozing, ect. Tough guy. He had all kinds of specialized hand levers for various controls. Throttle, brake, and clutch. They all were custom prosthetic devices made of aluminum. They came up under the steering column and had right angle handles. I mean this guy drove 18 wheelers like this.

I'm sure the rail road insurance (or settlement) was paying for these devices and he was medically released to use them. If you try to rig up something and have an accident, its all you.

Good luck and heal quick!

Today's Featured Article - Harvestin Hay: The Early Years (Part 2) - by Pat Browning. The summer of 1950 was the start of a new era in farming for our family. I was thirteen, and Kathy (my oldest sister) was seven. At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows! And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th ... [Read Article]
