hand controls for van.
 

My OT and PT say I need to think about hand controls for my van.

Anyone have them and what do you think?

reply re hand controls
 

If you have progressive MS, think twice. We spent a fortune on daughters hand controls, car and lessons. Controls were easy for me to learn, but miserable for Cheryl. Her MS got in the way, 6 months later she was physically unable to use any of it. We SURE could have used thet money on the next bunch of things we needed, then the next bunch. 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.

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.
