Disabled Article in the Guardian

I saw this article on the Guardian website. Although it's nothing new to people with disabilities, I think it's good to have the difficulties we face being highlighted in mainstream media. I particularly identified with Sam having to choose between painkillers and alertness.

My easy chair is my second bed too.
Anything I do at home I have to plan against my energy level. If I do any housework or cooking then I have to know I will be able to finish it and clean up afterwards. Often, washing-up has to be left for the next day though.
