I have horrible veins. My doctors are encouraging me to get a central line port. It may make my chronically ill life easier. I have worries about comfort while sleeping. Does anyone have any input?

I recall that everyone must be able to fully participate in our societies.

The @EU_Commission is working to lift those barriers so that all of us can enjoy equal rights and opportunities.

It's #InternationalDayofPersonsWithDisability. As usual, there is no mention of it in the news in #Taiwan despite 1.2 million (5%) people that we know of who are registered witj a #disability. WHY?

That stat is ❌️. Stats are 15-20% of the pop on average. Taiwan is home to an aging pop . Our stats are higher.

My Jitterbug cane is 🔥! Taiwan might not see us, but you'll surely see me coming with this beaut!

#UKgov has treated #disabled folk badly since 2010. The #MinisterForDisabled changes often. #Pursglove failed to point out that the last review was quashed by the Courts & that UK is only country formally investigated by #UN for breaches of #UNCRPD and found to be failing across the board.
