A sudden diagnosis of myositis left me unable to walk, lift my arms, or even eat and drink, safely!

And facing ten weeks in hospital that changed everything in my life!

In this honest and deeply personal episode, I share the reality (to me) behind the word “hospital”: the loss of independence, the unexpected moments of hope, and the determination it took to walk again out of rehab just four weeks after getting there.

This is a chapter about vulnerability, resilience, and the people who helped me rebuild when life stopped me in my tracks.
