I've found ways around it a lot, but lots of walking does me in. I can bike in good weather, try to alter my work schedule, etc. etc. But this winter it will be snowy and i can't bike on ice. The thought of my old habit of walking to school worries me, and also on my bike I can't carry large articles and if I'm going to work I can't get all wet in rainstorms.
I want them to let me get a campus disabled parking permit so I can park on campus and just walk from there. The regular lots are both sold out and so far from classrooms as they would be useless to me.
I dont plan on using the permit but when I need it, but the doc says that I don't qualify. I'm telling him that if it hurts to much to walk, then I should qualify! The prblem is I can walk some, its only prolonged walking. . . which means after I walk to campus one day I can't do it again until I rest up my feet.
I feel really betrayed since he diagnosed me and I've been to him for months about it, telling him that it's going away well enough and I'm concerned. I cant afford the physical therapist he wants me to see and I cant afford orthotics, and insurance won't cover it cause its not an accident.
I dont want an official one for off campus, because I can park anywehre I need to in town and work around my feet. Its only campus where parking is a problem and thus that is why I want a campus diabled parking permit.
I dont know what to do when the weather gets too bad to ride my bike. I dont think I'm being unreasonable or abusive of a condition, which is what he makes it out to be.
Since I can't,make him have my feet for a day, any other ideas?
