I have this thread bookmarked. I don't really reply, but want you all to know that I understand. I feel your pain.
I can tell my memory is slipping away, I blame it on old age, LOL. I usually do not repeat something that someone told me anymore, because I don't remember exactly what they said and I am not one to start rumors, drama, or lies. I just honestly don't remember! I really don't want another MRI just to see how many lesions are lit up in my brain!
People park in handicapped parking for a reason. Just because I can actually walk doesn't mean I shouldn't park in that spot! I just got my sticker about 4 years ago. I cant walk far without being exhausted. I cant walk or stand long without my legs wanting to lock up on me. I drive to work with one eye open sometimes (they get blurry at times, usually on the days I take my injections). Sometimes my balance is not that good. When you have an *invisible* disease, people think there is nothing wrong with you ( I know because I was one of those people).
Oh, and why do people place their empty buggies in the handicapped spots instead of the cart corral? This just bugs me! The cart corral can be two spots over but they will turn around and walk over and leave them in the handicapped spot!
I don't remember what I was leading up to now! LOL. I know there was something I wanted to say though :s I hate it when that happens!
We just take it a day at a time, I do anyway. We never know what tomorrow will bring. We don't know why it happens to us. But there is a reason and we may not ever know!
Have a good day everyone!
I had to report a bus driver who hassled a passenger over using the discount card reserved for seniors/disabled -- he was saying she "didn't look disabled". Turns out she had a heart condition and the meds she took kept her from getting a driver's license so that's why she qualified for the disabled discount card. My husband was also a driver at the time and I got mad because I knew he would never treat a passenger like that, plus there's a lot of paperwork involved in getting one of those cards and they verify the paperwork pretty closely (the card actually has the owner's picture on it so it's not like you can steal someone's card and easily use it) so I sent a complaint through the website (I went anonymous since a lot of drivers knew me because of my husband). And I hate when people leave their carts in the middle of a parking spot -- they do it in all parking spots around here, not just the disabled access ones! We have similar issues when we take my mother-in-law places, since she's in a wheelchair so we need the parking place with space on the right to get her in and out of the car (using a transfer board to get her from one seat to the other).
