It all started with the flu. the doctors thought i had glandular fever the next day i collapsed and couldnt get back up. i went to the hospital and it took them 4 hours and 3 doctors later to even have the slightest ides what it could have been.

At my worst i was paralysed from neck down, couldnt breathe on my own therefore was ventilated i spent 6 months in hospital and i can guarentee it was the hardest time of my lif, and the scariest. i had to learn to feed myself, walk basically do evrything again. you just have to get on with it. i had just left school i felt like my whole life had crashed down around me, but a year and a half later im working and just passed my driving test things are starting to look up.
