Yay Jane! Congrats on persevering and getting the prize(s). The drink, personal satisfaction, and keeping your dignity. I've been there but not done quite so well. Maybe next time I'll push through to my prize!
I can't tell you how much of my own experience I read in this. Non-disabled people have no idea just how important it is to be able to access the bathroom. I'm here to admit I have peed my pants before when I couldn't get to a public toilet fast enough. There are just so many things we have to think about and it's made so much worse when we do all the planning we can and we get wrong info or the Ubers don't pick us up. I'm glad it all ended up working out despite another ridiculous human feeling like you owed them some kind of explanation for your health (love that you used the opportunity to share your Substack). Thank you as always for sharing your experience.
Thank you so much for your comments Jackie. I’m glad that it resonated with you so much but equally I’m sorry that it did, as this stuff hard to experience. Appreciate you sharing what happened to you. Xxx
Oof. I w had days like that. So glad it ended well…
Thanks Emily… not just me then. I was determined I get something out of it!

PS does anyone know how to change my name? I don't know why it's all caps.
I don’t know why it’s in caps sorry!
Thank you Melissa, appreciate you reading. The prizes were worth it although it certainly didn’t feel like it at the time!
So proud of you Jane. X
Aw thanks lovely 😊
