Something my #health issues made me realize is that, yes, you can become #disabled overnight, and you don’t need something dramatic to happen, no cars are involved, no plane crashes happened, no traumatic incidents causing mental disability, no crimes happened, no malpractice, and yet you can simply wake up one day sick, and never get better

And then we wonder why people have such a skewed understanding of the world.

The Bear, on the continuing failure to address the social care crisis & its impact on the NHS:
'Flu is here five weeks early this year. The politics are decades out of date. Unless something changes very soon - loudly & unapologetically - this winter will not be the worst we’ve ever seen. It will be the winter that snapped the NHS in half'!
And if the NHS really does 'snap' this winter, Labour will not be able to place all the blame on the Tories!

🐈⬛But before the barbell moves, safety comes first—even if it’s just a cat toy in the way.
🎯Power training isn’t just for athletes or the young. There are variations to meet every age and ability. Train smart. Train strong. Train with purpose.
