for feedback folks - i talked to the dmv - i have to go in - they have a special disablity area - but it is their discretion wether or not they will make me take a driving test based on my medical condition, and can require doc statement.... my car isnt even registered for street right now (too expensive to just have it sit there and pay for insurance) i'm going to have to play it by ear..... based on doc statment if required, my answers to whatever they decide to ask me (they supposedly have a disablity specialist in the office) - i'll just have see what happens... at least handicap sticker is fine - it is permanent and goes with me - not the car - so i dont have to worry about that.....

ss - i get my groceries delivered thank goodness! its very inexpensive actually when you consider how much ensure, cat litter, etc. weighs, and the store actually stocks up on my brand of ensure... the guys even put the stuff in the kitchen for me.... so thats a plus of living in la i guess!

(heyjoe - shows you the diff in the states - here in calif handicap sticker is just a form from the dmv (state) and if your doc states you are not expected to recover - they just mail a new card every two years)

will check out the other forums mentioned too - nothing to loose right?
