After one year of thinking I do not need one, and after much coaxing from my family, I finally relented and took my application signed by my doctor, to the DMV in order to obtain a handicapped parking pass. Oh how hard this was for me! I guess I really did not want to admit that I needed one. I have hoped that this disease would be going away soon and I wouldn't have to get one. Today I was once again humbled by the fact that I am not the one in charge and that I need to be patient and be happy and endure this trial the very best that I can.
Today I am really grateful for this pass. I can now park in a stall and not have to be exhausted by the time I walk to the store from the parking lot and want to turn around and go home. I can now drive myself to the store on a good day and be able to park close enough to make it in to the store. In fact I think my kids really like this pass a lot more than I do. They love the fact of not having to drive around and around looking for a close parking stall.
Although I feel way to young to have one of these, I guess it really hit home for me when the doctor marked the permanent disability box on my application. Although I know I will continue to fight to put this disease into remission I realized today that I have to admit I need to use what will help me have a better quality of life for myself and for my family!
