'When I first came back from the hospital , I remember going up to my room and bursting into tears . This is when I first realized what had happened to me and that my life would completely change . 'It took me a while to recover my life rhythm , to eat again , to sleep , and to slowly reduce the doses of painkillers . 'At first , I had a hard time doing things by myself and everything felt painful , every movement or gesture . I could n't find pleasure in doing anything . ' She adds that whilst she looks to the bright side , there are moments of uncertainty : ' I am deprived of my passion but also a lot of activities , my family is worried about me and my future .

' I have always hated somebody else helping me do something or doing it for me . 'There are tons of activities I still can not do by myself . My single real fear about the future is for when I become a mother and I need to take care of my baby as a single-handed mother ... Fortunately , I have heard from mothers suffering from plexus palsy that they generally do very well . ' 'If I had to give advice to all the people who have suffered from injuries caused by any kind of road accident , I would tell them 'Be happy and fight for your lives , ' because you still have the chance to see tomorrow , ' she says . 'To all road drivers , remember that you are not untouchable , and the 30 seconds when I thought I was almost killed me . You do n't want that , so drive slowly and carefully . '
