there are a lot of people who temp. use a handicap parking but their handicap is not visible. I have a severe case of pusticular psoriasis that when it breaks out my feet become a piece of raw meat, making it painful to walk, added to that I took a fall and ended up with compression fractures of the lumbar area, painful added to the psoriasis. Its like walking on shards of glass while the doctor works to get it in remission. Now I am on a medication that is used for cancer and according to the literature it is used for severe psoriasis. I don't always park in handicap, depends on how my feet are. Not everyone has a sticker, but due to a condition not visible are to others, I'll still use the space by the drug store. Overnight in an apartment complex is a no no even for me... Guess I'll have to get an OK for the sticker from my doctor...don't want to offend some busy body that is ignorant about my condition..I guess taking chemo to stop the spread of my skin condition does entitle me to park any place that gives me the shortest distance to walk...according to the doctor, the problem also can, if severe be spreading into my bones and organs...
Some people with heart conditions but no sticker may be parking in handicap, God bless them, I will not complain
Oh, my, that sounds terrible. Prayers up for you, gran.
