Re: Cracking Down on Handicapped Fraud

July 30, 2007

I just received my handicapped sticker after my 1st CMT related surgery for heel

lengthening. I will get to use it for 4 months. The main reason indicated on the

form was 'inability to walk 200 feet without rest'. I sure hope people don't

look at me, see how young I am and judge me for it. My walking is just slow

going right now, it has been a long time since I've been able to walk heel to

toe.

People probably will look at you. I get that all the time and I use a cane and

have 2 braces on my leg. It is pretty amazing how people react. I try to not let

it get to me and once in a very blue moon, I look at them and ask " Do you have a

question for me? " Generally, people just have morbid curiosity!

That's true Jackie...Not long ago I parked in a handi spot at Foodworld and this

lady (I use the term loosely) stared at me the whole time I got out of my

truck...she even was looking back over her shoulder staring....I stared right

back at her with a mean look and said, " What are you looking at? " She put it

in second gear with a look of astonishment on her face. I thought it quite

funny....It is really aggravating when people are so rude...my philosphy now is

to turn it around on them and make them embarrassed. : )
