driving failures

In the 12-13 hour drive back to Minnesota I tried and failed once again. Normally  I sit on my left hand thumb with it under either the right or the left leg. I tried putting my left hand around the left steering wheel spoke as I was going down the long entrance ramp from a rest area. The bicep spasticity screamed in horror before I even made it to the freeway and overpowered my finger spasticity to pull the hand from the steering wheel. Later I tried resting my left elbow on the gel pad I attached to the arm rest in the door and placed my hand in the seven o'clock position. This time the elbow would not stay the 6 inches out from my side, the hand manged to stay on the wheel but the elbow forced its way next to my side.
