“Does she take sugar?” Ah yes. Vivid flashbacks to my mum’s time in hospital, trying my best to direct nurse and doctor questions to her. “Hello, I’m here! Hello,” Mum would repeat until they made eye contact with her. Thanks for sharing your story, Wendy. A very important one. We are indeed all vulnerable

Lovely writing and a whole story in those four words, very resonant to me as a mum who has spent years redirecting questions because people don’t see further than the wheelchair. ❤️
