Over Christmas/New Year I lost the use of my hands, arms and legs. On 2nd Jan. I woke up to discover I could not even raise my shoulders so I crawled on my back and shouted for help. I eventually got rushed to the Royal London Hospital where I was admitted as the only non-Covid emergency in the Acute Admissions Unit. I underwent X -Ray, MRI and CT scan: my spinal cord was severely compressed and would cause complete paralysis from the neck down within 2 months.
Special steel was flown into Heathrow and that day I had emergency major surgery - laminoplasty and spinal decompression. In Recovery I had my spinal cord drained while I received Morphine.
I have just got out of hospital after 6 weeks and am under Care at home slowly recovering.
