DA6RightHand,
Congratulations on getting started in the wonderful addiction of ours. I applaud you for your wonderful attitude. A good friend of mine was injured in a roll-over car accident when he was 21 and he is now the only parapalegic Hot Air Balloon pilot in the US. Maybe the world. He found that the biggest obstacle to his becoming a pilot was with the FAA saying that it had never been done before. After a while, he convinced them that he could do it safely and then went on to complete his training and all the normal certification processes. If you are interested, he has a web site: www.rollingpilot.com . Good luck and have fun with your flying...
Mike
