You Don't Look Disabled, You're Not In A Wheelchair

‘Attacking people with disabilities is the lowest display of power I can think of’ I recently read and shared a post on Facebook about a woman from Australia, who was parked in a disabled space with a valid blue badge and had been left a note reading ‘Did you forget your wheelchair??’.

I use mine on good days to help

It’s so good to hear from so many people and hear your words of support. It’s also been amazing to receive messages from other people in similar situations health wise and share treatments and doctors stories.  I’m planning so many more blogs leading up to christmas hopefully full of baking, crafts, present ideas and other festive ideas. I’m already listening to Christmas songs, I even made my mum liste
