You are absolutely right. Anything is possible with the right attitude. I lost an eye and thought I would never be able to drive again. It was hard, at first. but once I got over the fear I conquered it. It is all in the way you approach it. Once I realized that I just had to find another way to approach it, then it got easier. You can’t go at it the same way you did before.

Bless you for being strong and accomplishing what you set out to do. You have a great deal of courage. Thanks for sharing your story!

Best of luck.

happy for you and your positive outlook,Im new to this forum I lost my left foot and had reconstructive knee surgery on same leg in a motorcycle accident,person turned into me at an intersection on May 2 2015,Im home now recovering barely starting to bend the knee,I get anxious alot and even tho im on medication it still hits me,Im very happy I survived this accident and the way I look at it is “it was a limb and not my life”but I still have my moments,its tough learning how to get around on one foot,hopefully I can get some insight on this site to help me cope…take care everyone
