Every thought, every interaction, every reflection on this journey I would chronicle on scrap paper, iPhone notes, emails to myself- and slowly, painstakingly, that has turned into a book, TO EXIST AS I AM. 3/5
A picture of me, a white woman with glasses, holding my book TO EXIST AS I AM, a doctors notes on recovery and radical acceptance. The book cover is a picture of me sitting in my wheelchair wearing scrubs, from the shoulders down a quote from y book, 'I want you to understand the nuances of my story, and that there is nuance to disability. Disability is too often oversimplified, sensationalised or glorified, leaving no room for its dynamic nature and the rich variety of experience. I want to frame this book in hope, too, writing from a place of compassion and empathy rather than criticism. I’m writing as someone who has not always done the right thing either, or always known what might be the right thing to – or the right words to say. I want us all to do better.'

Another day, another street cluttered with bikes to the point I can’t use the pavement…

Hi everyone! I thought I should introduce myself on here, I’m Grace, a junior doctor working in London 🧵
A picture of me, a white wheelchair user, wearing pink scrubs. I am smiling and am resting on my elbow on my knee. In the background are various human and animal skeletons and wooden panelling.
