Handicapped Parking Permit??

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone! I would appreciate any help with this topic. I am

going back to work after a 4 month lay off next Thursday. My new

job is at a University that sits atop many hills. The parking is

very limited, and, the norm is to park your car in a lot, ride a bus

to the stop closest to your building, then walk from there. That's

the problem! My knees are so bad that I cannot walk up hill, up

stairs, down hill, or down stairs without great difficulty. There

are a few handicapped parking spaces in front of the building I am

going to work in, otherwise, the above sequence of events applies.

Does anyone else have a handicapped permit, and, if so, how do I go

about requesting one from my rheumatologist? Thank you very much

for any help you can offer.
