I am the local care service manager for
East Anglia and while I don’t currently have a customer with a spinal injury,
this time last year my fiancé broke C7 which as you know is in the neck and was
paralyzed for 2 weeks.
Following surgery to remove it, and
replace it with a steel scaffold and screws it has been a long road of physio
and support from Addenbrooks hospital and Stoke Mandeville spinal unit as an
outpatient. Despite working in health and social care for 25 yrs, being a
relative of someone who is told they have a 50/50 chance of never walking again
is a heart stopping moment in time. He was lucky and has made a good recovery
but it has given me a very different outlook on life and also the work I do at
Helping Hands.
