#07 - Living positively with a disability, and what good care looks like for Joe

I've known Joe for years, we met when we worked in prisons together setting up mentoring and employment support projects, and the friendship has continued. Joe recently spent time in hospital with sepsis, and nearly died, we talk about Joe living his best life with a disability, and more recently needing support from carers and how that has impacted his life. We chat about the impact being in a wheelchair has on Joe, and Joe explains why he tries to see his wheelchair as an asset and how it’s fundamental to who he is and the challenges that come along with that… like being pushed with being asked! I hope you enjoy this episode.
