do you still park in the handicap spots when your son isn’t with you?
I have a handicapped parking placard that I can hang from my rearview mirror. It is temporary, but I have renewed for over a year while I deal with an auto-immune muscle disease. I rarely actually park in the handicapped spaces unless I am having a bad day, or if the distance is too far. But if I do use it, most people would not think I had a disability (I do walk a little funny up inclines, but otherwise just a little slow.)
I have learned to hold my tongue and thoughts when I see others using the spaces, but I do think there may be too many of them.
He irony is that fat is often the CAUSE of the joint problems and so on, so the fat person gets a pass. Believe me, I know, I know grossly obese people who have had surgeries for knees and so on, problems which are after the fat. I’m thinking, why not get the major liposuction and see if the problems go away?
Which came first the chicken or the egg? Meaning which may have happened first the disability limiting ability to exercise and burn off fat or the fat itself? I've packed on pounds the last few years. I tried walking. I ended up making my knees worse. Hard to explain I was born Club Footed, became flat footed at work, and have walked off balance all my life due to Inner Ear & sensory issues I was born with. That makes exercising difficult and by doctors orders restricted. I do wear corrective insoles and now I use a cane for balance to walk. Yep I often grab a store scooter too but we shop real late at night because I can't handle crowd noises.
