Just wondering if anyone post surgery has obtained a temporary handicap placard from their DMV? My initial thought was that I shouldn't get one because I've been told to walk as much as I can, which I do. But many friends have suggested that I get one because of the weather. I'm so afraid of slipping in the rain, and also because I cannot walk very fast, I'm pretty drenched by the time I get inside!
So I requested that my surgeon's office complete a DMV handicap placard form, but I was told that they do not believe in them because they want their patients to walk as much as possible!
So should I just "suck it up" and not feel like such a baby about walking in the rain or my biggest fear, slip and fall in it, or go to my PCP and see if she will agree to do it? What are your thoughts?
