I'm glad to hear your new doctor is testing and doing a complete evaluation of your conditions? A big step in a good direction.

A voice recognition software program will save a lot of typing- many from the TOS forum got theirs from Ebay- and a good microphone or headset.

I forgot to check for your state - but check it's website - Motor Vehicles section - or just search "disabled parking permit" and it should find it for you.

This info might be in your state website too- plus your doctor should be of help with this also.
Insurance Type may come in to play also- Pvt medical ins or Medicaid/medicare??
