Today we went out so I could "practice"...yeah, it didn't go so well. I made it about 2 miles and I was in tears and had to pull over. The pain in my right foot got so bad and holding on to the steering wheel was painful. This just really sucks! We are gonna try again tomorrow since my first appt is Monday morning. I don't know if this is gonna work. Ugh!

Thanks for listening...

I am soooo in touch with this issue. Driving is becoming a problem for me too. Such a loss of freedom. I still drive, but I pick my battles and only do it when there's no other choice (like you're trying to do). It is frustrating as all hell. I'm so sorry Nanc.
