Shirley, driving has become much more difficult for me the last three years as well. I can't keep my balance and I get tired much quicker. I used to drive to Cincinnati, Louisville, and Nashville (150-200 mi.)with no difficulty. Now I limit myself to trips of 20-30 miles. I use a folded towel as a lateral support. As for rehab, they have helped me twice in the past. Of course, you must have a job, so you should have no problem getting help. God bless and best of luck.
Larry Willis Retired and proud of it Begin forwarded message: > From: [email protected] > Date: September 27, 2015 at 11:46:39 AM EDT > To: [email protected], [email protected] > Cc: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] Re: lift van > > Voc Rehab, may pay or contribute.... only if you are still a client of VR. > If so, they may require a new evaluation as your physical limits both high > and low have changed over the years.
