Hi,
Thanks for your reply on this. My OT's father has MS and has hand controls they are going to give me.
He has progressed to the point of having to be in a nursing home.
So my only cost is going to be installation. I am very grateful.

Progressive MS is not the same disease in SO many ways as R & R. Neither one is worse they both ROT. But ask your therapist how long you might be able to use them. If it's a decent amount time... I have this philosophy DO, Learn, Think, Love, live your LIfe as Hard as as thorouhly as you can while you can!!!
Sorry to be so, little help, but I wish you well.
