On the 25th October 2018, from my hospital bed, I began to write.
At first it was a way to anchor myself to the strange new reality I had found myself in, but as I wrote, as I learnt, I began to think this could be something bigger than just my diary.

Imagine waking up on a morning and being that naive to think you’re invincible.
1 in 2 people will experience disability of some form in their lives.
Do the math, Tom.
Aesthetics over human beings. Ps sounds like it’s design skills problem, not an accessibility problem.

@Uber hi - I’ve just been charged €488 for a €48 taxi - please can you assist???
Hi @Uber - please can you assist? This is a LARGE sum of money that I can’t afford to be taken from me. I’ve reported it via the app, but had no acknowledgment. Please help!!

Using the Elizabeth Line on the tube @WheelieGoodLife & @gem_turner found:
♿️ You have to really study the maps of the many lifts
♿️ You have to make sure you’re sat in the right accessible carriage
♿️ The gap between the platform & carriage is doable for Gem & Jennie! 👩🏻🦽👩🏼🦼

Knew something would go wrong. 3rd train is cancelled. Now got to try and sort out ♿️assistance for another train - that’s if they are running as all have disruption alerts😢. Knowing I’m going to be met with responses like ‘well… you haven’t booked assistance’ for the new ones!
Off to Liverpool tonight for a few days with work. Dreading all of the train changes. Praying for things to go smoothly, but have that anxious feeling before travelling that I can never seem to shake off. Does anyone else get that? #AccessibleTravel 🚂 ♿️

Hi @wizzair - I’m wanting to take my manual wheelchair in the hold and my lithium battery powered attachment with me in the cabin. Your website states you only accept dry cell batteries - is this info correct as I’ve never had any issues before? Thanks!
Horrendous service again from @bhx_official and @jet2tweets on my return flight. Couldn’t locate my wheelchair. Then said I ‘should be able to walk as that’s what their piece of paper says’. Also made me sit in a window seat, despite the @CAAi_UK framework saying otherwise.
Asked to speak with @bhx_official customer service /@jet2tweets /assistance staff and was told to ‘fill in a form online when I’m home’. How is this acceptable? How can airlines/airports just continue to play the blame game with each other and no actual human beings to speak to
