I’m a FoC it’s official

It is so mad people treat injured and disabled people like we have no brain , usually that is the bit that works fine !
When people encounter my deafness they immediately go into “talking to a moron” mode. I tell them I‘m deaf not daft, which is only a white lie.

Was in hospital after a seizure a few months back. Was my 3rd in a year and I'd gotten fed up and gone walkies after the other two so the registrar wouldn't let me go for a smoke unless I left my shoes, rucksack and phone behind and got brought out by one of the porters in a wheelchair, not the nicest experience.

You really end up feeling like a second class citizen at times, drives me mad.
