I totally agree with you Renee! My PCP filled out the paperwork to get me a permanent one. My husband has one too. I know some people have issues using them...the stigma that goes with it, I don't know. Sometimes I might feel fine when I get to the dr or store, but after walking around for a few minutes I am thankful the car is not too far away. It is a blessing and has helped me greatly! Especially now that I have to use a walker when I go out.
