[TMIC] Tonight, Today, tomorrow

[Nikki Macleod]

I feel as though TM has robbed me of all of my hopes and dreams. I'm 25 yrs old 
(23 when TM hit) and I had my dream job and had just graduated from uni. I miss 
my job terribly I worked in early years and it was my passion. I miss the 
interaction I had with the children, parents, colleagues, and basically the big 
wide world. I loved going to the gym but I am now paralysed from the shoulders 
down so this is now also a no go area. I loved the buzz it gave you and found 
it relaxing. I didn't actually know how much I'd miss driving, managing my 
toileting needs and how it had robbed me of all of my independence, confidence 
and self-esteem and send me spiralling into a pit of deep dark depression. But, 
I am slowly regaining my confidence, setting up fundraising days for my new 
wheelchair and I have started to write a book. TM will only beat you if you let 
it!!
