every morning I have to take eight different medicines turn ask me what they're for one day I went to the supermarket I dropped the counter for the trolley when I bent down to pick it up I fell over and I couldn't get up I had absolutely no strength in my hands or legs the problem with your hands is you don't realize what you can't do until you try to do it and it times in my life when life has been a challenge having a garden has been the thing that I'll always come back to I couldn't lift the
compost I couldn't lift the pots I was watching plants that I bought died in front of me and that was really hard 24 hours seven days a week I have a tingling sensation in my legs I haven't been alone through all of this but I think through sheer will and determination I've managed to fight back I've been able to stand there every Thursday night the last take weeks to thank the people who even though they couldn't help me because they had no idea what was going on this Dordogne they've helped so
many other people and I would have been devastated if I didn't have the strength and applaud them I know that one day I will go to do something and it simply won't happen [Music] you
