5/29/26 - Friday Video Share: "Things nobody tells you about becoming disabled"
Things nobody tells you about becoming disabled
Empowered Para - May 19, 2026
I really enjoyed this recording of a live stream in which the hosts, Fred and Brittany, discuss some basic, some quite specific and challenging aspects of living as wheelchair users. Both have what seem like similar spinal cord injuries. But they live on opposite sites of the Atlantic, and so have different perspectives on disability issues like health care and equipment costs. Most of all it's enjoyable to listen to them talk, share experiences, and interact with listener's questions. And if you don't have the time to watch the whole video, you can scroll through to the topics that interest you, as the listener questions are clearly marked.
Have a great weekend everyone!
