    Yes at the moment as cant safely push clutch pedal down ,i can cheat in tractor as i could push it down with other foot to activate the gearbox because its all on a shuttle lever under steering wheel for forward or backwards and a button for gears but if i needed clutch in a emergency i would have a job to push it down at the same time as braking with right leg . Nurse said today if i had a automatic car i would be ok as only need right leg

    Just a update on foot/big toe , been back to drs and had it dressed for 2nd time ,nurse was happy that i have kept it clean but it was still bleeding a tiny bit ,foot and other toes are coming out in bruise which she said they call it shock bruising ,i am walking better as long as its flat ground ,still cant push clutch pedal down in van so no driving at the moment

    Did not say about driving but said go home and rest it for a few days and keep it clean as with the big bit of skin they took of it was more likely to get a infection , got a nurse going to dress it friday morning . I did drive home last night but had hell of a job pushing clutch pedal down . My mate broke his leg last year but because it was his left one they said he could drive a automatic as only needed right leg ,but no he could not drive a manual car for 8-10 weeks
