When I was 16 I was in a mountain bike accident where I fractured my spine.Only in 2007 was the fracture found, 4 screws were drilled in and a laminectomy done.
In 2013 one of the screws snapped and I had to have another surgery, unfortunately in went very wrong.
Something got cut to deep and I bled to death. I was give adrenaline to get my heart going again and later needed a blood transfusion.
In 2019 because the previous op was not successful I had to have another operation which fixed the problems from the previous op but I still live in pain.
I am hoping to raise money so I can return to work where I own a gym where I am a trainer but need to make the gym more wheelchair friendly as well as pay off some medical bills.
