On the road again


After months of waiting, training, more waiting and testing, Matt is back in the driver's seat and is so very happy. We had to trade his truck in for a car that was going to work better for him and last week we took it in to have a left-foot accelerator and steering knob installed. Adaptive equipment is pretty amazing - and it pops out whenever I need the car. He's been driving to therapy and running errands with me all week and is doing fantastic.

There are still two weeks left before Matt's surgery and he's starting to get nervous. He knows it needs to happen and started out 3 weeks ago ready to have it done, but as it gets closer it's more and more scary.

  2. That's so exciting. It is crazy how these new fangled doohickeys work.

    I am sure that the surgery will go fine. Try not to be nervous. It is all for the best. I am thinking about you both.

    Love,
