I'd lost my centre of gravity.

I'd lost my bowels, my bladder.

And I was being looked after by a team of amazing people.

But all I could use was my head at the time, you know.

I didn't have any physical... I had my arms.

but I couldn't move in the bed.

So I had to use the tools I had in my box.

And one of those tools was visualization, something that I used all my life, but I didn't realize how powerful it was.

And because I was lying in the bed, I could do nothing else but visualize.

So every waking moment I had, which was a lot of waking moments because the pain was horrific and the pain is still horrific to this day.

But I kept visualizing, visualizing, visualizing and trying to make that connection, trying to repair that broken spinal cord with, I won't go into how I went into doing it, but

Like, ultimately, 21 days later, it moved.

And I do put it down to that process of visualisation and working hard and not giving up.

Yeah, three, four, seven.

I take a lot of medication to keep myself...

to, I suppose, hide the pain, but it's constantly there.

It doesn't leave me.

It's like severe pins and needles throughout my whole body.

Sorry, throughout my whole lower body.

So when you, at night it's worse because once I take the pressure off my feet, the pain increases.
