No it isn't. I'm sorry to hear about your woes as well. I know that a
lot of people often times don't believe me when I tell them i'm hurting
to sit and stand and that being a couch potatoe, sometimes, is the only
remedy for the pain, at least for a little while b/c it takes the
pressure off the disk. But, I've gotten to where I don't care anymore
if anyone believes me or not. I know I'm in pain and that's all that
matters. It's not in my head. It's real and it's bad at times.

I don't think it's that tough to get them around here. I need to go to
the Police Dept. and request an application. Then, bring it to my
doctor and have him sign it and that should be that. After that all I
need to do, well once I get my tag, all I need to do is bring it to my
landlord and request signage for "my parking spot" and then it'll be
mine. And, I'll get the advantage of using the handicapped parking at
the stores and so forth, not that I ever really go anywhere anyway.
Mostly I stay at home. My second problem - Depression.

Sorry, that's too bad. It's tough when our mom's aren't around for us.
Mine is and has been most of my life 3,000 miles away.

How very nice. There will come a day, someday, when I can enjoy the day
again. For now tho, it's a rough day for me. But, just a day.
