I'm in a wheelchair, I got it 2019, but I was stuck in an upstairs flat for 3 years, couldn't get out the living room, I'm now in a better house but it known as a disabled bathroom and wider doors, now I can get out about it's a bit terrifying, and now can't get a dentist, it's unbelievable, did anyone else feel like outside was to loud and bright and very very large or is it just me !!!

hi Mandy and welcome. I know what you mean. I’m not in a wheelchair but find the outside quite overwhelming sometimes. Take it slow and pace yourself. One day at a time. So pleased you’re now in suitable accommodation though. You may be able to access community dental services as a priority patient if you’re disabled. Check out your local NHS website. Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.
