  • That’s rough mate, it’s a lot to deal with. Your life totally changed in an instant, and you’ve done amazingly getting through that. I’m really glad that you survived.

    Mine is nowhere near as intense. I’ve had a bone graft in my knee after an injury doing aerobics. No exact cause. It was misdiagnosed for years as a tendon issue, causing further damage and increasing healing time. I’m a year post surgery and I still get constant pain and can’t walk or stand for long.

    Disability assistance from the airline is limited, they’re basically helping me on and off the plane and saying I need to sort myself out once I’m there. The airport helpfully say “find an accessibility counter when you get here and ask”. Fucking brilliant. I’m hoping if I’ve got a mobility aid and Sunflower lanyard then people will offer. It’s not great and IME the support may just not be there when I get there 🙄
