So after nailing myself at la graviere whilst living in Hossegor and being helicoptered off to Bayonne hospital back in July last year, a nasty car smash in November and 3 stints in hospital, I was literally an emotional wreck and feeling so blessed when I ventured into the water for the first time in 6 months on the 8th of January 2014!
I bruised my spinal cord and tore the c7 nerves in my neck in the initial surf accident. The car crash just added to the injuries but I was one lucky lady. There have been so many ups and downs and I am planning to make a video blog of my training and the trauma I've gone through getting back to this stage.
It's taught me so much and continues to do so. Never take a day in your life for granted. I feel so blessed that I am still here and I know someone greater than me has been watching over me. I have to say a massive thank you to all my family, friends, the surgeons, doctors, nurses and my amazing trainer Garry who have been amazing throughout everything. I love you and appreciate you all so much ❤ onwards and upwards for 2014!
