Sorry to hear of your accident !! Your new Henry sounds like therapy in the making . The cycling action is so smooth that all you need to cycle it are the last two fingers of either hand ( right or left ) if your able. I loaned one of my Henry's to a buddy of mine when he broke both ( feet ) his heels, and was wheel chair bound for 6 months , went  threw 2 surgeries  a year later and is still  hurt . He said it was the only thing that kept him Sane during his down time,  He's still not 100% but we have kept him mobile which takes some and sometimes a lot of Southern Ingenuity and you can still do the things you used to do and the things you want to do !!! As my friend say's WHAT DOESN'T KILL YOU ONLY MAKES YOU STRONGER . We have the plan's for shooting benches and deer stands that we made for him . The best advice I can give is Don't give up . After the novelty wears off of you being hurt you'll find out WHO you're true friends are  But your Henry won't let you down.
