re: Handicapped parking spots...are they abused?

I have a handicap sticker. Had three level fusion in my neck three years ago. Left my arms paralyzed for two months afterwards. With a ton of physical therapy. It also makes my legs weak. So some days I feel ok and go to the store and park in a normal space. I think screw it, I don't need my cane today, I feel good. 10 minutes in the store, it all goes to hell. Can barely stand up. But I do see a ton of people with tags that get around just fine.

Sometimes there are times I need one of those scooters, but I won't take a chance that some 90 yr old grand ma might need it
