-I'll never forget -that night three years ago... | 0:00:24 | 0:00:28 | |
-..when all our lives -changed overnight. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:31 | |
-One minute we were happy -and enjoying our lives... | 0:00:31 | 0:00:36 | |
-..and the next minute, we were back -and forth to doctors and hospitals. | 0:00:37 | 0:00:41 | |
-Life was full of uncertainty. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:44 | |
-I became paralysed -from the chest down overnight... | 0:00:45 | 0:00:48 | |
-..by a condition called -transverse myelitis. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:52 | |
-Transverse myelitis -is a rare condition... | 0:00:52 | 0:00:55 | |
-..which can affect anyone -at any point in their lives. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:59 | |
-Symptoms manifest -within a matter of hours. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:02 | |
-In more serious cases, -people are completely paralysed. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:07 | |
-The children were -two, four and six when it happened. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:11 | |
-To be honest, -my life as a busy mother... | 0:01:11 | 0:01:15 | |
-..didn't allow me to sit in the -corner feeling sorry for myself. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:20 | |
-I have no choice. -I have to get up and go. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:23 | |
-We've been -hurled into this situation... | 0:01:23 | 0:01:26 | |
-..and it's up to us -how we deal with it. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
-Time goes by too quickly -to wait for things to change. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:35 | |
-I'm determined -to live life to the full... | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
-..for the sake of the children, -Owain and all the family. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:43 | |
-I saw a poster once... | 0:01:46 | 0:01:48 | |
-..which gave me -the kick up the backside I needed. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:52 | |
-It said, "Don't wait -for the storm to subside... | 0:01:52 | 0:01:55 | |
-"..learn to dance in the rain." | 0:01:55 | 0:01:58 | |
-I've been in the wheelchair -for three years. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:09 | |
-I became paralysed -from the chest down overnight... | 0:02:09 | 0:02:13 | |
-..by a condition -called transverse myelitis. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:16 | |
-Come with me in the lift, Nansi. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:18 | |
-When I was admitted to hospital, -the children were very young. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:24 | |
-Nansi was two, Lisa was four -and Mari was six. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:29 | |
-The time I spent in hospital -away from the children... | 0:02:30 | 0:02:33 | |
-..was the hardest... | 0:02:34 | 0:02:36 | |
-..and most painful experience -of my life. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:40 | |
-It hasn't -embittered me because of it. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
-No-one's to blame. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:49 | |
-This is my path in life. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:52 | |
-Don't lick me! | 0:02:52 | 0:02:54 | |
-My legs might not work but I can -still be there for the children. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:58 | |
-I want to make the most of life. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:00 | |
-I can't see where I'm going, Nansi. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
-Get out of the way. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:17 | |
-I've been born and raised -in Abercegir. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:31 | |
-It's my family's farm. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:33 | |
-I've always worked here -with my father. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:37 | |
-Fflur came here to live -after we got married. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:40 | |
-Fflur is very much at home -and comfortable here. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:47 | |
-At college -I became friendly with Sara... | 0:03:51 | 0:03:54 | |
-..a cousin of Owain's. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:57 | |
-She invited me to Machynlleth. | 0:03:57 | 0:04:00 | |
-It was then that I met Owain -for the first time. | 0:04:00 | 0:04:03 | |
-It must've been a year before we -started going out with one another. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:09 | |
-Once we started, -there was no stopping us! | 0:04:09 | 0:04:12 | |
-Fflur and I got married in 2001... | 0:04:17 | 0:04:20 | |
-..on the hottest day of the year -down in Aberystwyth. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:24 | |
-The wedding reception -was held at The Marine... | 0:04:25 | 0:04:28 | |
-..in Fflur's seaside home. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:30 | |
-It was a wonderful day. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:33 | |
-We've led very busy -and full lives since then. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:37 | |
-We have three daughters. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:39 | |
-I'm surrounded by females... | 0:04:40 | 0:04:43 | |
-..and there's pink everywhere here! | 0:04:43 | 0:04:46 | |
-But I'm coping. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:48 | |
-One minute we were happy -and enjoying ourselves... | 0:04:52 | 0:04:56 | |
-..and the next minute, our lives -were suddenly turned upside down. | 0:04:56 | 0:05:01 | |
-We had a busy holiday in Eurodisney. | 0:05:03 | 0:05:05 | |
-We spent three days at the park... | 0:05:05 | 0:05:08 | |
-..and crammed in as much as we could -in a short space of time. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:13 | |
-We went on to Paris after that. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:16 | |
-That night... | 0:05:19 | 0:05:21 | |
-..I wasn't feeling 100% -on the journey home. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:25 | |
-I thought it was the after effects -of the flu I'd caught... | 0:05:25 | 0:05:29 | |
-..before the holiday. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:31 | |
-We arrived home... | 0:05:31 | 0:05:33 | |
-..but I couldn't settle -because I had pain in my back. | 0:05:33 | 0:05:37 | |
-It felt very unnatural... | 0:05:37 | 0:05:40 | |
-..so I woke up Owain. | 0:05:41 | 0:05:43 | |
-It must've been -around midnight by this time. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:46 | |
-We came downstairs... | 0:05:48 | 0:05:50 | |
-..and the pain in my back -was intense by now. | 0:05:50 | 0:05:54 | |
-When we turned up, -Fflur came down the stairs... | 0:05:55 | 0:06:00 | |
-..and said she was -losing sensation in her legs. | 0:06:00 | 0:06:05 | |
-The numbness was rising up her legs. | 0:06:06 | 0:06:08 | |
-We said it was probably the pain -causing numbness down her legs. | 0:06:08 | 0:06:12 | |
-She said, "No, it's rising." | 0:06:13 | 0:06:15 | |
-By the time the paramedics arrived, -she was numb from her armpits down. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:20 | |
-I couldn't understand why -I couldn't walk to the ambulance. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:26 | |
-That's when I realized... | 0:06:26 | 0:06:29 | |
-..it was far more serious -than I initially thought. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:32 | |
-I received a phone call -at four in the morning. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:37 | |
-Fflur had just reached Aberystwyth. | 0:06:37 | 0:06:39 | |
-I rushed to the hospital -straightaway. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:43 | |
-They said they weren't entirely -sure what was wrong with Fflur. | 0:06:43 | 0:06:48 | |
-She was rushed to intensive care... | 0:06:48 | 0:06:52 | |
-..before being flown to Cardiff. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:56 | |
-I wasn't sure what to expect. | 0:06:56 | 0:06:59 | |
-We went to Cardiff to see her. | 0:07:03 | 0:07:05 | |
-When we left the hospital... | 0:07:06 | 0:07:09 | |
-..and were travelling home -through Merthyr... | 0:07:09 | 0:07:13 | |
-..we still had tears in our eyes. | 0:07:13 | 0:07:15 | |
-It was a long journey home, -let me tell you. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:19 | |
-A very long journey. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:21 | |
-I can't imagine -what it was like for Mam and Dad. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:26 | |
-As Fflur's brother, it was difficult -seeing her in hospital for so long. | 0:07:27 | 0:07:32 | |
-The hardest thing was not knowing -what was wrong with her. | 0:07:32 | 0:07:36 | |
-The extent of the situation -hadn't fully hit me... | 0:07:38 | 0:07:42 | |
-..because I thought -the symptoms were temporary. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:46 | |
-It must've taken about six weeks... | 0:07:46 | 0:07:48 | |
-..for me to realize -the severity of my condition. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:52 | |
-Transverse myelitis -is a rare condition... | 0:07:56 | 0:07:59 | |
-..affecting -around 300 people a year... | 0:07:59 | 0:08:03 | |
-..and around 20 each year in Wales. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:06 | |
-It usually affects young people -in their teens or their 30s. | 0:08:06 | 0:08:10 | |
-It's a neurological condition... | 0:08:11 | 0:08:13 | |
-..affecting the spinal cord... | 0:08:13 | 0:08:17 | |
-..that causes inflammation. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:19 | |
-The spinal cord is vital for -relaying messages from the brain... | 0:08:19 | 0:08:24 | |
-..to the legs, and sensations from -the legs and hands to the brain. | 0:08:24 | 0:08:28 | |
-Anything that affects -the spinal cord... | 0:08:28 | 0:08:31 | |
-..results in numbness -in the legs and hands. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:36 | |
-In severe cases, -people become completely paralysed. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:40 | |
-Here's your scan, Fflur. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:43 | |
-This is your spinal cord. | 0:08:43 | 0:08:45 | |
-Notice the swelling -in the affected area. | 0:08:48 | 0:08:50 | |
-It indicates -where inflammation has occurred. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:55 | |
-A large area of the spinal cord -has been affected. | 0:08:55 | 0:09:01 | |
-That's why the messages can't -be transmitted from the brain... | 0:09:02 | 0:09:06 | |
-..to the nerves in the legs. | 0:09:06 | 0:09:10 | |
-What's interesting -about cases like Fflur's... | 0:09:10 | 0:09:14 | |
-..is that a fortnight -before the onset of symptoms... | 0:09:14 | 0:09:17 | |
-..the patient has suffered -a sore throat or flu. | 0:09:18 | 0:09:21 | |
-We believe the person's immune -system, for whatever reason... | 0:09:21 | 0:09:25 | |
-..loses control and attacks -healthy areas of the body. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:29 | |
-In Fflur's case, the spinal cord. | 0:09:30 | 0:09:32 | |
-I'm just going to check -your reflexes. | 0:09:32 | 0:09:35 | |
-I've never seen them -respond like that before. | 0:09:38 | 0:09:41 | |
-They're responding to the reflex. | 0:09:41 | 0:09:44 | |
-It's common in patients -with spinal cord injuries. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:49 | |
-Although I've encountered -transverse myelitis before... | 0:09:50 | 0:09:54 | |
-..I've never seen a patient -as severely affected as Fflur. | 0:09:54 | 0:09:58 | |
-When I was -first admitted to hospital... | 0:09:58 | 0:10:01 | |
-..there was no reflex, no feeling, -no sensation whatsoever. | 0:10:01 | 0:10:06 | |
-In the beginning, -I documented every minor change. | 0:10:07 | 0:10:11 | |
-Every minor change indicated -I was on the road to recovery. | 0:10:11 | 0:10:16 | |
-But over time... | 0:10:18 | 0:10:20 | |
-..the minor changes -became fewer and far between. | 0:10:20 | 0:10:24 | |
-What about that? | 0:10:24 | 0:10:26 | |
-No. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:27 | |
-No. - -Nothing at all? | 0:10:27 | 0:10:29 | |
-There are factors -which affect the prognosis. | 0:10:30 | 0:10:33 | |
-If symptoms develop very rapidly... | 0:10:33 | 0:10:36 | |
-..if you're completely paralysed... | 0:10:36 | 0:10:38 | |
-..or if the condition doesn't -improve within a few months... | 0:10:39 | 0:10:43 | |
-..the prognosis isn't favourable. | 0:10:43 | 0:10:46 | |
-However, -it varies from person to person. | 0:10:46 | 0:10:49 | |
-Some people can still feel -their legs and are able to use them. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:54 | |
-Those patients tend to respond well -to steroid treatment. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:58 | |
-A third of patients don't respond -as favourably to steroid treatment. | 0:10:59 | 0:11:04 | |
-They're still reliant on -a wheelchair for years afterwards. | 0:11:04 | 0:11:09 | |
-There are times... | 0:11:17 | 0:11:19 | |
-..when I could just throw something. | 0:11:21 | 0:11:24 | |
-I think, "Why aren't I improving? | 0:11:24 | 0:11:27 | |
-"It's my turn now -to get up and walk." | 0:11:27 | 0:11:31 | |

-I've been in the wheelchair -for three years. | 0:11:53 | 0:11:56 | |
-There's no point -being bitter about it. | 0:11:56 | 0:11:59 | |
-Like the children say, -my legs might not work... | 0:12:00 | 0:12:03 | |
-..but I'm still -the same person at heart. | 0:12:03 | 0:12:06 | |
-I still enjoy the same things -and I try my best to do them. | 0:12:07 | 0:12:10 | |
-Wheelchair coming! -Wheelchair coming! | 0:12:11 | 0:12:14 | |
-Life's busy... | 0:12:14 | 0:12:17 | |
-..at the best of times. | 0:12:18 | 0:12:20 | |
-There's no point -feeling sorry for ourselves. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:23 | |
-Feeling sad helps no-one. | 0:12:23 | 0:12:27 | |
-We have to be strong and carry on. | 0:12:27 | 0:12:30 | |
-Life goes on. | 0:12:30 | 0:12:32 | |
-Having to give up work -greatly affected the children. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:46 | |
-They wanted me to go back to work -because that was normality for them. | 0:12:46 | 0:12:51 | |
-I can do it myself. | 0:12:51 | 0:12:53 | |
-Damn! | 0:12:57 | 0:12:59 | |
-The biggest difference, -for me personally... | 0:13:06 | 0:13:10 | |
-..is the loss of freedom. | 0:13:10 | 0:13:12 | |
-Fflur needs lifts to places -and needs help. | 0:13:13 | 0:13:16 | |
-I have to be around a lot more... | 0:13:16 | 0:13:19 | |
-..to help her in everyday life. | 0:13:19 | 0:13:22 | |
-We certainly -spend more time together... | 0:13:22 | 0:13:26 | |
-..and we value that time. | 0:13:26 | 0:13:28 | |
-# Mr Quiet am I, am I, hush, hush # | 0:13:33 | 0:13:37 | |
-We're going to revise -numbers one to 10... | 0:13:37 | 0:13:42 | |
-..like you'd sing -with the children in school. | 0:13:42 | 0:13:45 | |
-Alright? Ready? | 0:13:46 | 0:13:47 | |
-# One finger, two fingers, -three fingers dancing # | 0:13:48 | 0:13:51 | |
-I decided I didn't want to go back -to teaching primary children. | 0:13:51 | 0:13:55 | |
-A friend of mine who's learnt Welsh -suggested I teach adults. | 0:13:56 | 0:14:01 | |
-# 10 fingers happily dancing # | 0:14:01 | 0:14:04 | |
-I can utilize the skills I've learnt -as a teacher and feel useful. | 0:14:07 | 0:14:12 | |
-I'll let you have that one. -I won't take that. | 0:14:12 | 0:14:16 | |
-Understandably, there are times -when I get depressed. | 0:14:20 | 0:14:25 | |
-You can't live -with a situation like this... | 0:14:26 | 0:14:29 | |
-..without feeling frustrated. | 0:14:30 | 0:14:32 | |
-Often there are times -when I feel like crying... | 0:14:32 | 0:14:36 | |
-..or shouting or cursing. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:38 | |
-But in terms of the big problems... | 0:14:39 | 0:14:41 | |
-..I think we deal -very well with them. | 0:14:42 | 0:14:44 | |
-It's the small things -that affect me more. | 0:14:45 | 0:14:48 | |
-Things like walking down the street -on two different levels. | 0:14:48 | 0:14:52 | |
-I have to push Fflur -instead of walking side by side. | 0:14:52 | 0:14:56 | |
-It's the little things -that get to me. | 0:14:57 | 0:15:00 | |
-I've gone from being -so independent beforehand... | 0:15:00 | 0:15:03 | |
-..to having to ask for help - -help to reach things... | 0:15:04 | 0:15:10 | |
-..or to do the simplest things. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:12 | |
-That's what's difficult. | 0:15:13 | 0:15:15 | |
-The children have had to grow up. | 0:15:22 | 0:15:24 | |
-They've certainly -had to learn to be more independent. | 0:15:24 | 0:15:29 | |
-But that's not such a bad thing. | 0:15:31 | 0:15:33 | |
-It's character building. | 0:15:33 | 0:15:35 | |
-We're lucky we had the children -before it happened. | 0:15:38 | 0:15:42 | |
-They've kept our lives, -especially Fflur's life, busy. | 0:15:43 | 0:15:47 | |
-We do all we can to make sure -they don't lose out in any way. | 0:15:50 | 0:15:54 | |
-I'd share... I'd share a hat... | 0:15:57 | 0:16:01 | |
-..with Bleddyn. | 0:16:01 | 0:16:03 | |
-I've been lucky to have had -the help of family and friends. | 0:16:05 | 0:16:10 | |
-There's milk there. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:13 | |
-One Glesni's more than enough! | 0:16:14 | 0:16:17 | |
-Not a day goes by -without them being in contact... | 0:16:17 | 0:16:21 | |
-..or offering their help or support, -if they can't be here in person. | 0:16:21 | 0:16:26 | |
-That's been invaluable. -You can't put a price on that. | 0:16:26 | 0:16:30 | |
-They lock out a bit more then, -don't they? They're more stiff. | 0:16:33 | 0:16:38 | |
-Rachel has been coming to see me -for a few months now. | 0:16:38 | 0:16:41 | |
-She comes twice a week -for an hour and a half. | 0:16:43 | 0:16:46 | |
-I enjoy her company, -but at the same time... | 0:16:46 | 0:16:50 | |
-..she makes sure -I keep doing my exercises. | 0:16:50 | 0:16:53 | |
-I know what to do but it's difficult -doing it on your own. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:57 | |
-Occasionally the question arises. | 0:16:59 | 0:17:02 | |
-"What if she doesn't get better?" | 0:17:03 | 0:17:06 | |
-That's not an option. | 0:17:06 | 0:17:08 | |
-We're full of hope and faith. | 0:17:08 | 0:17:11 | |
-That's what keeps us going. | 0:17:11 | 0:17:14 | |
-One, two, three. | 0:17:14 | 0:17:16 | |
-If there's anything we can do -to speed up her recovery.... | 0:17:16 | 0:17:20 | |
-..then we'll do it. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:22 | |
-They told me that one person -in three makes a full recovery. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:30 | |
-One in every three makes a recovery -with lasting effects... | 0:17:31 | 0:17:35 | |
-..and there's one in every three -who doesn't recover. | 0:17:35 | 0:17:39 | |
-It's hard for me to believe -that I'm that one person... | 0:17:39 | 0:17:43 | |
-..because we don't know -what's around the corner. | 0:17:43 | 0:17:47 | |
-Lengthy research -is being carried out... | 0:17:49 | 0:17:52 | |
-..into new treatments... | 0:17:52 | 0:17:54 | |
-..one of which is stem-cell therapy. | 0:17:54 | 0:17:57 | |
-Stem cells are cultivated... | 0:17:57 | 0:17:59 | |
-..so that they develop -into any cell in the body. | 0:17:59 | 0:18:02 | |
-In this case, -a cell in the nervous system. | 0:18:03 | 0:18:06 | |
-It's hoped that if those cells... | 0:18:06 | 0:18:08 | |
-..are transplanted -into the damaged area... | 0:18:08 | 0:18:12 | |
-..they will make new associations... | 0:18:13 | 0:18:16 | |
-..and help cure some of the symptoms -caused by transverse myelitis. | 0:18:16 | 0:18:21 | |
-I haven't done that in a while. | 0:18:21 | 0:18:23 | |
-She's incredibly strong. | 0:18:24 | 0:18:26 | |
-And I'm not talking about muscles! | 0:18:26 | 0:18:29 | |
-She's mentally strong. -You have to believe, don't you? | 0:18:29 | 0:18:34 | |
-You have to believe -that you're going to get better... | 0:18:34 | 0:18:39 | |
-..otherwise -you're not going to carry on. | 0:18:39 | 0:18:42 | |
-I firmly believe -she's going to recover... | 0:18:45 | 0:18:48 | |
-..and that she'll walk again. | 0:18:49 | 0:18:51 | |
-We try everything. Fflur's -been to France, Spain and Cambridge. | 0:19:00 | 0:19:05 | |
-Advances in science mean that -new treatments are being developed. | 0:19:05 | 0:19:10 | |
-We're hoping for the best. | 0:19:10 | 0:19:12 | |
-Today I'm going to Neurokinex -in Watford. | 0:19:24 | 0:19:26 | |
-It's a pioneering centre... | 0:19:27 | 0:19:30 | |
-..specialising in exercise -for those with spinal cord damage. | 0:19:30 | 0:19:35 | |
-They do incredible work here. | 0:19:35 | 0:19:38 | |
-There you go. | 0:19:38 | 0:19:40 | |
-Oh, that's good. -That's a nice feeling. | 0:19:40 | 0:19:44 | |
-OK? | 0:19:48 | 0:19:49 | |
-OK? - -Yeah. | 0:19:49 | 0:19:51 | |
-30 seconds. | 0:19:51 | 0:19:53 | |
-30 seconds. - -So this is reminding the legs... | 0:19:53 | 0:19:56 | |
-..what they should be doing then? | 0:19:56 | 0:19:59 | |
-Yes, repeating the steps -over and over again... | 0:19:59 | 0:20:02 | |
-..to try and trigger -the nervous system. | 0:20:02 | 0:20:06 | |
-OK, one minute left. | 0:20:10 | 0:20:13 | |
-Just seeing the work they do -and the positive energy in here... | 0:20:24 | 0:20:29 | |
-..is a huge boost. | 0:20:29 | 0:20:31 | |
-All these things Fflur's trying -lead to her recovery. | 0:20:34 | 0:20:39 | |
-That's all we want. -Any improvement is a huge step. | 0:20:40 | 0:20:43 | |
-I'd love to come here -on a regular basis... | 0:20:46 | 0:20:49 | |
-..but these things cost. | 0:20:49 | 0:20:51 | |
-Since my injuries -aren't the result of an accident... | 0:20:51 | 0:20:55 | |
-..I get no financial help. | 0:20:56 | 0:20:58 | |
-We have to work out -how we're going to manage this... | 0:20:59 | 0:21:03 | |
-..because it's essential that -she gets this kind of exercise. | 0:21:03 | 0:21:07 | |
-Look, Owain, I'm doing it by myself. | 0:21:14 | 0:21:17 | |
-Owain, Owain, -I'm doing it on my own. | 0:21:17 | 0:21:20 | |
-Come on, some encouragement, Owain. | 0:21:22 | 0:21:25 | |
-I haven't -done that on my own before. | 0:21:26 | 0:21:29 | |
-I certainly miss the life we had... | 0:21:32 | 0:21:36 | |
-..and the freedom that came with it. | 0:21:36 | 0:21:38 | |
-But she's got this condition... | 0:21:39 | 0:21:41 | |
-..and it's a big part of our lives. | 0:21:41 | 0:21:44 | |
-We've very fortunate. | 0:21:46 | 0:21:48 | |
-The last three years -have changed all our lives. | 0:21:57 | 0:22:02 | |
-It would've been -far more difficult... | 0:22:02 | 0:22:05 | |
-..if Fflur -wasn't such a strong person. | 0:22:05 | 0:22:08 | |
-She talks as if nothing's changed. | 0:22:08 | 0:22:10 | |
-We're lucky she's like that. | 0:22:11 | 0:22:13 | |
-She's incredible. -She's one heck of a woman. | 0:22:13 | 0:22:16 | |
-That's all I can say. | 0:22:16 | 0:22:18 | |
-# Happy birthday to you # | 0:22:19 | 0:22:22 | |
-Hooray! | 0:22:22 | 0:22:24 | |
-Hip-hip hooray! | 0:22:24 | 0:22:26 | |
-Hip-hip hooray! | 0:22:27 | 0:22:29 | |
-Yay! | 0:22:30 | 0:22:32 | |
-We're fortunate. | 0:22:34 | 0:22:36 | |
-There are people out there... | 0:22:36 | 0:22:39 | |
-..much worse off than us. | 0:22:39 | 0:22:41 | |
-Miracles happen. | 0:22:46 | 0:22:49 | |
-One, two, three, hooray! | 0:22:49 | 0:22:51 | |
-Hopefully one day -we'll be one of those miracles. | 0:22:54 | 0:22:57 | |
-I don't know -how my story will pan out. | 0:22:58 | 0:23:02 | |
-But I'm hopeful -and I'm confident... | 0:23:02 | 0:23:04 | |
-..that someone somewhere -will come up with a solution... | 0:23:05 | 0:23:09 | |
-..to repair nerve damage -and the spinal cord... | 0:23:09 | 0:23:12 | |
-..so that people like me -can walk again. | 0:23:13 | 0:23:16 | |
-I'm not prepared to rest -on my laurels and take a back seat. | 0:23:21 | 0:23:26 | |
-I want to live life to the full... | 0:23:26 | 0:23:28 | |
-..and do whatever I can -to make my life worthwhile. | 0:23:28 | 0:23:32 | |
