Blogging disabled life

Emma Emma | 14:18 UK time, Thursday, 27 January 2011

A couple of weeks ago, a Tweet by Stephen Fry caught my attention. He said, " The blog of Sophie Adler, a truly remarkable bed-bound girl in chronic pain. Inspirational."

Entrigued, and possibly mildly obsessed by all things disability, I immediately clicked on the link.

is a witty, intelligent and very frank account of the life of a 20 year old Jewish Tottenham fan, health problems and all. She posts regularly and every single one is worth a read. She's currently documenting her recovery from major surgery. Check it out.

The discovery of Sophie's blog got me thinking about musings by another young disabled woman I've come in contact with recently.

is by Edinburgh-based Morag Edward, who describes herself as "an escape-artist, writer, imagineer and equal-access reviewer".

Last year, Morag wrote regularly on the accessibility of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, but her posts are eclectic. They feature news of her personal life, arts endeavours, and recently, it's been a place to vent her frustrations at her lack of mobility during Scotland's heavy snowfall.

If there's a disability blog you think we should feature, please get in touch using the comments below or by emailing ouch@bbc.co.uk.
