I'm not actually "disabled," but I am a mom, and I have chronic med conditions that can suddenly and severely get in the way. I have been lucky so far in that I have had very few bad days, but when I did, particularly when my kids were really young, it was very difficult because it was necessary for my daughter, as young as 5 yo, to do things for me like get my glucose pills (for hypoglycemia) or look after her brother while I recovered from a nasty headache. It's easier now, since they're older, but my son is autistic, too, so there's always "excitement," if you know what I mean.
