Growing up until I was 33...

It's hard to sum up so much of my life before my traumatic brain injury (TBI.) I grew up with my mum, dad and sister in relative normality (apart from the identical blue smocks!) I met my husband Paul when I went to Uni in Glasgow, where we lived until 2008.

We spent our lives working hard and used our holidays for travelling - the idea of hoiking on my rucksack and exploring the world thrills me!

I always have a small number of close friends who mean one heck of a lot to me, then and now...
