I thought almost dying would hurt more

"I thought almost dying would hurt more" - Victoria Jenkins

A really painful stomach. Years and years of back and forth to the doctors, but this would have felt different. Out she goes on a Thursday night then off to work on Friday. Forget Saturday too, it's Sunday by the time she walks in to A&E.

It's funny how you remember things such as days, dates, smells etc.... I will always associate me having Sepsis with Chelsea FC, Chinese food (Vegan Shredded Chilli Beef to be precise) and Coke. It's doesn't surprise me that Victoria remembers the days and lots of other details that she shares with me. This trip to the A&E led to her going down to theatre with a 50 : 50 chance of coming through the other side.

Not only did Victoria survive, this led to a chance encounter with someone on the ward that would change her life forever. A chance encounter which was behind the creation of Sustainable Adaptive Fashion Brand - Unhidden Clothing

I asked people to describe Victoria in one word and everyone found it tough. There was a common theme around how tough, brave and resilient she is. How she will stand up for others and can be stubborn in achieving her goals. After listening to this podcast let me know which word you would use to describe Victoria.

I haven't wrote much about Unhidden yet. What I like about the niche range is that it can be worn comfortably by everyone. It is designed with disabled people in mind, but can be worn by able bodied people too. When clicking the items on Unhiddens website it details how each item can benefit people and with which disabilities. The seated trousers are designed for wheelchair users, however I also love the shirts. The shirts are designed for people with other conditions in mind, but look fantastic for absolutely everyone.
