Hidden Disabilities Time To Fight Back

bored_at_home

i have a hidden disability, i have ms.
i can walk ok, but sometimes need to use the disabled loo if theres a queue , and suddenly have to sit down while out.
my pet hate is nosey people and comment makers, who gives anyone the right to challenge what anyone else is doing?

i got challenged by an old grandad on the one and only time i used a disabled space outside a petshop on our local retail park at 830am , the other 5 disabled spaces were empty and the shops wernt even open yet.
he came ranting about delivery drivers (i drive a van not a car) parking in disabled spaces etc.
unfortunately what he hadnt seen was me arrive 5mins before with my 20kg dog ( he was unable to walk) so i could try carry him into the vet for an emergency op . he was screaming in pain.
think the old bloke was possibly surprised when i burst into tears as soon as he started.

I suppose we can see at least he was trying to help prevent misuse but its nothing short of horrid isn't it when these things happen. Perhaps he will learn from it that not all disabled are 70+ and use a chair or sticks.

Had issue myself on bus again today by being shouted at and moaning to others so loud that young (I'm 40) person should give up seat to elderly . I'd already let 2 go past so I could sit or would have fallen within the first 2 bends the bus goes round. Asthma was also bad and I was on the slightly blue phase. I also came home and cried after a double dose of drugs to get lungs back into better behaviour. Its OK I am aloud 3 sets before I have to go to hospital.
