Although, I didn't realize it, but my wife said I actually have a real limp anyway. I never knew.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14363867140919109904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6437448.post-68321638536330895582009-01-28T07:44:00.000-05:002009-01-28T07:44:00.000-05:00I would go from a dialysis treatment to the grocer...I would go from a dialysis treatment to the grocery store and I would park in the prime spots. I used to get looks all the time. I would feel like death was knockin on my door 98% of the time. It is best to just limp and no one will say a thing. I used to do it so no one would bother me.

I should just take off my glasses at the point I put it in park and put them on when I get in the store.

It's crazy the way people like to get on a high horse about the issue. I'm sorry it makes you uncomfortable using your placard when it benefits you to do so. Tell yourself they are a dumb ass when they do that.Bettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01371334145292199905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6437448.post-67991045400588572852009-01-27T15:19:00.000-05:002009-01-27T15:19:00.000-05:00Hi Denise, that's just horrible.

This idiot guy walked by, gave me the once over and said loudly "YEAH YOU LOOK HANDICAPPED". I snapped. I'm not proud of it, but like you I have the same braces on my legs, and I was sick of this crap. I yelled out "DO YOU WANT TO SEE THE BRACES ON MY LEGS?" He proceeded to mumble something under his breathe and then I said "Next time try minding your own business old man"(He wasn't old, but he was nasty and I knew it would make him feel bad). Ma knew a woman who lost her leg from diabetes and used to hang it out the window when someone gave her a hard time. Why don't people just mind their own business?

She's just a great person, and is very fit. She also has a prosthetic leg from the knee down, but for distances under a half mile, you'd never know it.<BR/><BR/>One time, she fell behind in a small crowd of people going to lunch, and someone new to the group said something like, "Hurry up! What's wrong? Got a wooden leg?"<BR/><BR/>She laughed, and knocked loudly on the plastic of her prosthetic. The guy went pale and attempted to stammer an apology. She let him off the hook, but she's less charitable with the parking spot self-appointed monitors.Not Importanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18307127026012212518noreply@blogger.com
