I Fell Down The Stairs & Nearly Lost Everything | 18 Days In Hospital

I never thought one ordinary day at home would change everything. I fell down the stairs, fractured my pelvis and spine, suffered a bleed on the brain, and ended up spending 18 days in hospital. Living with sight loss was a contributing factor to this accident — and it’s a reality that many people with visual impairment face daily. I’m sharing this openly, not for pity, but to show the reality of trauma, recovery, and fighting to rebuild life after injury.
