On Monday and Tuesday last week I wrote about wanting to talk about my experience of Inaccessibility on Monday. However, I then did not have the energy to write this post on Monday or Tuesday. I then in all honesty forgot to write about this due to a very busy week and a rubbish memory. But I’m going to give it a go now.

I had a doctor’s appointment on Monday which was at a different doctors than it usually is. In order to get to this doctors I had to go down a specific road that I had not been down before. This immediately put me on edge as I don’t know how accessible new roads are going to be.

Parked on this road at the corner were a van and a car meaning that I had to go on the road to pass. Meaning that I had to go on the road, over a bump in the road to ensure level access back onto the pavement. Returning up the road I was unable to see where this bump was to ensure my level access. So I ended up crossing the road about halfway down to get to the other side and back up the road.

This was all because of vehicles that parked on pavements without considering those who used the pavements.

On a road I did not know at all this entire situation took me about 20 minutes to deal with after my appointment. Someone passing by was able to help me find a safer place to get off the pavement and on the other side.

I know this may not sound like a big problem especially if you’ve been waiting a week for me to upload this post. But it was very difficult for me to deal with at the time. As I was already nervous about having to go to a new doctors.

New places can be even more nerve-racking than the actual reason I need to go to the place.

Please remember that this may be something I disabled person has to consider when brand new places. This movie reason that they are nervous or do not want to attend an event, have nothing to do with you or the activity. It makes simply be that they’re in a place that they are not used to and this adds anxiety of the day.

My apologies again that this post took a week to write. The downside of having a busy week is that it can sometimes cost you what you wanted to achieve within it.
