Often I have hubby take me sometimes, and he drops me off and
parks, and then helps me shop. But I have to navigate structures sometimes, and I agree, I don't like them either.

My doctor won't give me an approval ...she wants me to walk
as much as possible.
Hi Mrs. D.

Do you agree with your doctors assessment that you should walk more, and do you think he's right by not giving you a letter indicating you need a disabled parking indicator?

I'm just curious. Alan (years ago when he could drive) got one of those hanging disability things that you put over the mirror. The benefit of that was substantial. We could park right near the entrance of Costco and well, he has PN and arthritis so even though walking is preferable, it was not indicated in his case.

Your doctor won't do this for you??
