Worst yet, on Thursday they wouldn&#8217;t let me use the Handicapped lot.  It worked out though, because I could park fairly close and I had my ringside chair with me.  That chair is great because I can keep everything I need ringside with me.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I had plenty of time, so I stopped a couple of times, sat down and caught my breath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Friday, all the lots were full because they closed a parking lot.  When I got there, I ended up having to walk several blocks.  I used my walker which didn&#8217;t work well.  Lola didn&#8217;t have room to sit in my lap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Saturday I did without the walker &#8212; I got there earlier and so parking wasn&#8217;t as bad.  Only had to walk the one lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But here&#8217;s the catch:  If I park in handicapped, I don&#8217;t need my walker.  If I don&#8217;t, I can&#8217;t get the walker out the car.  I shared this with a friend who is in her 20&#8217;s and has POTS.  She gets crap all the time from people for being young and not using a mobility device.  That isn&#8217;t fair either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sunday, I was able to park in handicapped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, I can barely walk, my knee hurts so bad and I may end up using the walker, depends on parking.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The parking at Dallas Market Hall has been drastically reduced.
