Reported in 'Yours', the over-50s magazine - somewhere in France (don't know where) there's a sign in a supermarket car park which says "If you take my parking space, please take my disability as well." How I've wished that on some of them. Being outspoken, on more than one occasion I've said to these morons that I'd happily swap places with them because I'd be delighted if I could walk from one end of the car park to the other or even walk around the supermarket without using the trolley (cart) as a walking frame. Being in my 61st year, I was really flattered a few weeks ago when I said to a driver waiting for a disabled space that It'd be about ten minutes before I left because I had to wait for my feet to stop hurting sufficiently to be able to put them on the car pedals. She has MS and said that she got cross when 'young people like us' got glared at because a lot of people think that only pensioners can be disabled. On the up side, after just five weeks, the new knee is already making walking a lot easier - I'm not waddling or shuffling now and my hips and knee are pain free. I'm just left with feeling as if I'm walking on a stony beach with bare feet and not much can be done about that.
