Being VERY cautiously excited about the appointment with my new doc to talk about a replacement wheelchair... Actually going well? Truly, I'm not used to that!
It's rare to come out of these things actually feeling a little hopeful. I might have a chair that doesn't break all the time? Is designed to be more thoughtful of bodies like mine? With a power assist as a real possibility?!? Wild!

UK politics has a number of problems with accessibility for non-majority groups... we're familiar with issues around ethnicity & gender, but are less clear about how ableism has effectively barred disabled people from our political institutions;

Make sure you're assessing your situation: What would you do if power went out due to the utility shutting it off to reduce fire risk or due to too many people using the grid at the same time? Need to replace batteries? Have enough ice packs on hand? What's your emergency plan, esp if there's a fire & you have to evacuate during a heat wave?
If you're abled, ask disabled friends if they'd like help and what form they want that help to take in an emergency.
I constantly see things like ''if you're not going to protests for this issue, you're part of the problem'' or ''don't call yourself an ally if you don't do XYZ''.
