    Larry, I can understand and relate to what you are going through. I, too, have a "hidden" disability - a heart condition that makes it difficult for me to walk far. I have had a handicapped parking card about 12 years. I do get some stares, but it is definitely worth it to go out and be able to get things done without worrying if you will be too tired or fall down, etc. I can't use stairs, and I get looks when I use the elevators to go up or down one flight. I have learned to ignore it. You should get one if you are eligible; as I see it, it is worth it.
