I can feel my #ostomy bag getting heavier, so I'm very aware that I'm going to need to visit the toilet sooner rather than later. It's boiling hot, and I'm really dehydrated (consequence of warm weather and having no colon). A woman joins the queue with a walking aid, so the person ahead of me tells her to go in front. Then she goes to the door and tells the staff, so they fetch her to let her in first. As she's walking past the queue, she is beckoning other people with walking aids to join her, so god knows how many people further back I am by the time the visibly less able have entered before me. The person comes back to their spot just in front of me, to declare loudly that they've done their good deed for the day, and that surely no one would mind people with a disability jumping the queue. They shouldnt be waiting out in this heat... They have NO idea how many people with an invisible disability they have just made wait even longer in the blistering heat. This is just one of MANY people that don't understand the concept of #InvisibleIllness. Would it help if I used a walking aid? I think it would help people see I'm not fit and well, but, because my muscles are weak in my arms, and just carrying the shopping home will leave me sore for 3 days, AND I have a lot of pain in my wrist, I couldn't use one if I wanted to! I didn't want to jump the queue, but I'm not at all happy about waiting longer in a queue because someone takes it upon themself to decide who is in need of support based on what they can see! ~ @sahara88uk #IBDSuperHeroes #Crohns #Colitis #IBD #CrohnsDisease #UlcerativeColitis #IBDawareness #IBDVisible #MakingTheInvisibleVisible #InflammatoryBowelDisease #IBDWarrior #CrohnsColitis #LivingWithIBD #ItTakesGuts #NoColonStillRollin #IBDfighter #IBDlife #Ostomate #Stoma #Ileostomy #MoreThanMeetTheEye #Colostomy #OnlineOstomy #StomaSquad #OstomyAwareness #ChronicIllness #Disability #Disabled".
