A few years ago my son had 4 serious operations in 2 years, for about 3 months afterwards he could not walk without a lot of pain and crutches. It is hell trying to keep a disabled teenage boy amused all day, every day. He could not go to most places, (cinemas, museums etc) because we could not get the car near enough for him to hobble inside.
To get him to his out patients appointments, I had to take him to the drop off point(old BRI), help him out, get him as fast as I could to wheelchair (before some jobs worth gave me a ticket) then abandon him well I took the car to a car park, (this often took 20 mins or so)
No chance of a blue badge as he was not permanantly disabled. We watched in envy as seemingly health people parked on the disabled spots and ran in!
