"Stay in hospital as a disabled person"

I broke my leg January 2016. I am a disabled person and walk with callipers and crutches. The ambulance service and Doctor at the A & E were fantastic. My problems commenced when I was moved to the orthopaedic ward. The staff were brilliant but I missed having a "monkey ladder" to help pull myself up to a sitting position. Everything is cardboard now, bedpans etc. This makes life very difficult when you have a plaster cast on and are paralysed in both legs when having to use a bedpan.

The physio therapist came the next day with a view to getting me out of bed and into a chair. She asked that I use a zimmer frame (wheels at the front). I explained that I would not feel safe using the zimmer frame. After several attempts to persuade me to use this, it was agreed that I could use my crutches. It felt like the physio did not listen to meat all. My problem is that I felt that going into hospital when already disabled is a terrifying experience and one that I hope I never have to repeat. The nursing staff did listen but the physios did not.
