Wheelchair user Chris Purnell, 37, was stuck in his fourth-floor flat for a week because the elevator broke down.
A disabled Edinburgh man who was trapped in his home due to a broken lift was forced to drag himself down flights of stairs in fear of missing his wedding day.
"With the wedding just over a week away, I thought, even if I have to crawl I will be there. That night I practiced going downstairs and dragged myself down."But I feel I want my dignity. I didn't want to have to rely on others to simply leave my house." He said: "Since I have needed the wheelchair, the lift has been a lifeline to me. It has broken down before but always been fixed in a day or so.
