I went to my college campus this morning to meet some classmates for breakfast. The campus is really hilly and getting from the parking lot to the door is a hike. I have a handicap parking tag to hang up which was issued to me to use for bad rheumatoid arthritis days. I almost always needed it on campus because my joints just couldn't handle the long walks. Well, today I decided not to use it and to park in whatever available space I could find and of course the spot was far from the door. I am happy to say that I walked the whole way without stopping or being winded. My knees don't hurt and I am not achy!!
