Can someone tell me where they had there van's redone for wheelchair and hand controls done in Michigan? Hopefully in the Metro Detroit area. HOPEFULLY REALLY CHEAP TOO, I'M ON DISABILITY ALSO AND SOON GOING ON MEDICARE(JANUARY 2010)I'm very nervous about that, I have no idea what going on Medicare means to me and my situation, do they help any with paying on the van hand controls? Pipe dream right? It takes a lot of time but I can take my electric chair at home down my ramp to get into our minivan. But that's it, once in , I'm done, no way to get into my manual wheelchair. And I can't push my own wheelchair, I have Peripheral Neuropathy bad and my hands hurt too bad to use them any longer. So if I'm going to drive I need a lot of help. If anyone has any answer's please email me @ dsomer1958@hotmail.com, thank you, DAN1958.
