I fell in December during our snow and my elbow is still painful. I told a friend, I'm getting to the point in life where aches and pains seem to be more permanent than I'd like. I'm just glad you can get the help you need.

One thing that bothers me about those handicapped placards is that so many able-bodied people seem to have them! I know I had no trouble getting one for Mom. The Maryland MVA just asked for a letter from Mom's doctor, which probably would have been easy enough to fake. And here's a moment when I wished I had a camera. I was in the big shopping center in Laurel, MD, and saw a car parked illegally in a handicapped parking space. The license plate said, "GYMNAST."Forsythiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11842925744413303224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2758315312808346503.post-46690379350347876562009-03-06T10:18:00.000-05:002009-03-06T10:18:00.000-05:00Well Val, I hope you don't get bogged down in any ...Well Val, I hope you don't get bogged down in any 'red tape' this time. God knows we've all hit our snags of it. And...we're all going down the same road....hitting the same bumps. Just keep that beautiful humor or yours closeby, brush it off....and use it.

My youngest, The Prince, will be so jealous. He's one of those guys that loves things with wheels and motors. <BR/><BR/>You can come over to my place and be bitter with me any day.

John has one because of a knee injury and being able to park in close after nine hours on his feet at work is a real blessing.
