I was out in Iraq with the Adjutant General\u2019s Corps\u2014Staff and Personnel Support Branch from February 2007 until June 2007. I have a daughter, and it was very difficult being away from her. Every day I missed her, and each time I spoke to her on the phone, she would\u2019ve changed. She was only two when I went away and her voice would\u2019ve changed and she\u2019d be saying more words and speaking more. It was just a constant ache.<\/p>\n
My injury happened when I was in a Guard Room and a mortar came through the roof. It detonated directly underneath me and the building collapsed and badly damaged my leg. I remember being buried for a long time and really screaming for help. That\u2019s the last thing I remember before waking up in hospital in Birmingham.<\/p>\n
When I woke up, I wasn\u2019t initially aware of what my injuries were. I wasn\u2019t really with it for a couple of weeks. Then I understood that my leg was badly damaged but at that point, I thought that I was going to keep it. I also had facial injuries and I\u2019ve had plastic surgery on those since. I had other shrapnel wounds to deal with and I lost a bit of sight in my left eye.<\/p>\n
It was three years before I made the decision to have my leg amputated\u2014three long years in a wheelchair and on crutches. I never wore two shoes in those three years and I was never pain-free. So when they suggested it to me last year, I knew it was the right decision for me, and it was. I knew that I would be a more effective mum, that I\u2019d be able to give more to my child without a leg than with a leg. So that was what was important. I knew that life would improve for my whole family if I had my leg amputated and that was what made the decision easier. I think my daughter thinks that Mummy\u2019s robot leg is quite novel and she likes to show all of her friends. So I don’t think she sees it as a bad thing at all. I hope she\u2019s proud of me.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m now going through rehabilitation as an amputee, and I\u2019m finding it hard! I had got very unfit over the last three years and very overweight. So I had a lot of factors going against me, in a way. But it comes down to how much determination you\u2019ve got, and I\u2019ve got a lot. I was determined to get there one way or another, and I\u2019m up walking now and hopefully getting running again soon. Things are great.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve no plans to leave the Army at the moment, but I wouldn\u2019t want my daughter to join. I\u2019ve seen war and it\u2019s not pretty. We\u2019re all very na\u00efve as children, and I wouldn\u2019t want my daughter to experience the things that I\u2019ve experienced. I\u2019m a very strong person and very determined and what I\u2019ve been through has made me set my sights higher for myself and for my family in life. I\u2019ve realised that anything you want to do, you can do it.<\/p>\n
