Hi Vixens. I am in need of some advice if there is anyone out there that can help me out. I'm recently confined to a wheelchair due to some SNAFU from back surgery in June. Due to reasons unexplainable (all tests showing normal) so far, I'm unable to use my legs or walk. I have a great sewing machine that I can't use because I can't press the foot pedal with my feet as I have extremely limited movement in my legs and even less control of that movement.

What I need to know is if anyone has any advice on how to control the foot pedal in an alternate way. I miss sewing, and have adapted many of the other crafting that I do so that I can do it from my wheelchair. I should probably mention that I don't have a sewing table and just use the kitchen table.

I hope I'm not offending anyone by asking my question. I don't know if the preferred term is physically challenged or physically handicapped as I'm really new to the situation. I truly appreciate any help I can get. It's been very hard to resume any of my normal activities as it's been a real struggle trying to figure out how to do things that I didn't even think about when I did them using my legs.
