Fighting for Care: When the NHS Fails Disabled Patients

No colon, still rollin’ – My new wheels – Sunrise Medical Quickie Carbon Q50R

  • Inspired by @emmaelizalines recent ‘styled sitting’ outfit posts I gave it a go myself ✨ It’s so frustrating to shop for clothes as a wheelchair user because frequently things don’t look the same when you’re sitting down, or become impractical due to excess fabric or sheerness. We need more brands to show their products seated as standard, along with using curve models and incorporating inclusion.This stunning dress was PR from @popsyclothing and I am still OBSESSED with it. I love the way the print on the skirt ends up on your knees when seated so it really highlights it and it doesn’t get lost. Shoes are from my wedding but I think they were @joebrownsI pick up the new power add-on in a few days, and honestly I’m so excited to start a new mobility aid chapter without having to keep fighting with my Q50. So one of my last videos in this chair hopefully 😍

  • Have you been on Eurostar yet as a wheelchair user?Later in the month I will be going via London to Paris and I am so excited for the experience. Often I see a lot of challenges surrounding air flight with mobility aids, so this is a great alternative.It was one of @adaptdefy’s recent blog posts that inspired me to make the video as I haven’t seen much on preparing for a train journey - but they also done one for air flights!  https://adaptdefy.com/blogs/wheelchair/flying-with-a-wheelchair-our-complete-guide-to-stress-free-air-travelI’m going to be doing more content on my travels, so I’d love to know what questions you have about the experience!

  • My countdown has officially begun! Gearing up for a trip to see a mouse in Paris ✨@cakeeeeess time to get out your passport 👀VD: A white woman, using her pink crutches, with a close up short of them being decorated with spots and Minnie Mouse. The next clip is of her looking over her shoulder wearing Disney princess ears and a Disney themed top. The final clip is her holding the ears and smiling. Her top reads ‘Disneyland’.

  • How’s it already been almost a month since Parallel Windsor!? Such a fun weekend with the loveliest people ✨ Still not over seeing Sakara play live!VD: Various similar selfies of our small group in the field at Parallel Windsor. Some of us are wearing black Inkfire t-shirts, whilst others are friends of Inkfire. At the end, is a photo of Imali’s orange phone with a Sakara sticker stuck to it, and Sakara on stage in the background.
