I did for a short trip.

My right leg is very strong and my left I am starting to put a bit of weight on as advised by the surgeon. I managed to rest my heel on the floor and worked the clutch.  It felt great.

I just don't have the stamina.

I come from a very active backgroung and It killed me being down as long as I have. I think I needed  something to bring my spirits up and this did it.
