Surviving being hit by a tractor and dragged under its 10-tonne trailer was just the start. I was 19 and thought I was going to die. My injuries were like I’d been hit by a bomb. I lost the right side of my pelvis and my right leg. A lot of my internal organs no longer worked. I spent 18 months in hospital. Scared. Depressed. Grieving for my old body. My mum became my carer.
My world had been turned upside down and it was too much to cope on my own. Thankfully, we had Day One Trauma Support by our side throughout.
