Only headache was my motorcycle endorsement - I didn't want to give it up, as I may try to do an adapted bike after I get the chair done (and get rid of the 'ex-') and would prefer not to try going through getting a bike license from scratch again... The examiner was understanding, and said that he would be willing to let me keep the motorcycle endorsement with a "J" restriction, which limits me to 3 wheels only (sidecars or trikes IOW) especially since he says the DMV didn't actually HAVE a "competency test" for handicapped motorcycles...
However the DMV people said the computer was being very stubborn, and because they had originally suspended my entire license after I first got hurt, and was then issued a "learners permit" with both the car and motorcycle endorsements on it, that it wanted a road test on the motorcycle endorsement as well...
Everyone agreed that this was kind of dumb, but it took the better part of an hour with calls to "Medical Affairs" and the main licensing office to get permission to do what they wanted and find out just how to get the computer to let them actually issue the license...
But all has worked out, I now have a temporary license w/ all sorts of letter codes on it, with the permanent plastic one expected in the mail shortly...
It is a "Class DM (Private cars under 26,001 lbs, except school buses plus motorcycles)" with restrictions B (glasses) C (mechanical aids) J (three wheeled motorcycles only)
I'm happy! Everyone else should possibly be afraid...
