Hi, and welcome

SO sorry you and hubby are having these challenges so late in your lives, with much demands on you both.

You do have reason to be concerned with hand controls. Do you have the knob on the steering wheel. They are a little dangerous to operate, actually coined as the "suicide knobs" so do be carefel with sleeves.

We have the Department of Vocational Rehabilitation here in Ky. They do have a dpt that trains people to drive with hand controls. You do need training, so your instinct is correct.

I would also mention they have like the meditaxi that can transport patients to and from doctor and treatments. Please check with the Senior Citizens in your area. They do have programs that may help you and hubby with your needs.

I hope you do find some peace today...
