Wednesday 14th May
I thought it was time to share my story with Day One Trauma! 

After visiting me in hospital after finding out there was a patient with life changing injury’s they helped with a small grant for my partner so he could get to the hospital and get what he needed while he was at the hospital. 

After a couple of months I started to realise how lonely I was, although people could see what I was going through they never truly knew. Thankfully they couldn’t understand. I was starting to lose myself to a pit of depression and I knew I needed help. I asked for one to one peer support and they matched me with somebody who’d had similar injury’s and similar interests. These phone calls were life changing. I started to feel less scared of my leg, my illazarov frame and using my leg properly. Without this support I wouldn’t have been able to tackle what came with the injury. 

I then started to see my savings go down (I’d worked self employed so no sick pay for me!) and that’s when I knew I needed to see if I could get any financial support. They helped to see if I could access benefits and they also helped me access a solicitor who specialised in my type of injury and circumstances. Without Day One I would’ve struggled way more than I needed to. 

Walking 100K in June might not seem much, but considering I had to learn how to walk again last year, this is a big deal! I’m also trying to learn how to run again, something which I absolutely adored before my injury.
