“I think straight after my accident I really couldn't imagine, years on, that I would be travelling the world, that I would be working full time, that I'd be supporting myself, that I'd be doing all the things and more that I'd been doing before my accident ... I realised that life is just different and for me, I think life is better than it was before.”
