I find driving is about the only thing I haven't been able to adapt though 
I've still done it with help. I constantly amaze my neighbors as I tore up 
and built my front steps on my house, I have neighbors asking me to do the 
same for them in fact, and everything else I do around here from working on 
the car, mowing the lawn, everything. I have to do it all myself, I can't 
afford to pay anyone but I enjoy some of the work anyway.
