Megan knew something wasn't right for months. Along with the advice of her Physiotherapist, she continued to go to Doctors and Emergency Rooms requesting an MRI, as a result, she was frequently told to loose weight and do more Physio until one day she couldn't walk at all. When she was brought to the ED, they did an MRI and found a spinal disc so badly displaced it was damaging her spinal cord. After emergency surgery and months of rehab she was given a 1% chance of walking again. Megan shares her story along with the current difficulties she finds around the city with accessibility.
