Placarded

[cjsmith]

My life just got better: I have a temporary disabled parking placard. No more long walks at the grocery store! (Those are always doubled to return the cart, of course.) I can park near my regular Weds 12pm appointment, despite the fact that construction has wiped out half their parking and the regular spaces I can find are a five-minute walk! Yay!

It's not a huge difference, but it's something. What I probably want next is a better way to get around inside my office building.

That's truly awful. I wish people wouldn't jump to conclusions -- or at least wouldn't commit vandalism on the basis of a snap judgment -- but I guess some people just suck.

You use a cane sometimes, right? Hopefully that "looks gimpy" enough. :-/

I used to use a cane. My wrists got so bad early last year that I had to stop (that's where the scooter became a necessity, and wonderful) and since then, I've lost the cane. I need to get a new one for my in-between days.

I had wondered how bad a cane would be on your hands and wrists. *My* right hand is wonky enough that I'm a little leery of trying a cane (combing my hair requires caution) so I can only imagine that yours wouldn't be too happy about it all the time.
