One year ago to the day my life changed when I was about to jump off the Te Moana waterfall. As i was about to jump I slipped falling 18 meters down the rocks into the water below. The fall almost killed me as i was airlifted to Christchurch hospital to discover that I had broken 15 ribs shattered my scapular bone, broke my neck and broke my back in two places. I spent six days in the trauma unit where I could not move. on the sixth day I got up and walked on a walking frame. two days later I started walking with crutches and on the tenth day I walked unaided, on the eleventh day I walked out of hospital. I made it back to my job at Fonterra driving milk tankers in three months and completed 100% of the hours that I was contracted to do. At four months I carried a 139 pound boar off the hill on my own. Now today I was about to conquer another hurdle when I would go back down to the waterfall and jump successfully this time.
