Chris, sorry to hear about your fall. I just gotta say that my wife lives on what was once a shattered foot and she's got titanium plates in her arms and legs as well from a head-on collision. And you know what? She's a hell of a dancer and a much tougher built human for having been through it. Witness the awesome self-healing power of the human body, which keeps us from being clunked for cash at the first sign of a limp. Keep your good humor, take it easy, and start thinking about how you can mod your new set of wheels while you heal up enough to pilot the old ones. I wish you good health and eased pain. Vanagon content: anyone on the list own a disabled edition vanagon? Does it refer only to hand controls or also a full lift apparatus? Just curious, saw a brochure. -Peter On Mon, Oct 5, 2009 at 9:32 PM, <JordanVw@aol.com> wrote: > nice. looked like fun. i would have gone but i spent my friday in the > ER after a 18 foot fall from a ladder while painting my folks barn onto > pavement shattering my left foot (talus bone) and sending me into a wheelchair > for the next 4 months..
