Early June, we set off to France for a three-month stay to work on the house. We were staying at my parents who are 5 minutes on foot down the hill from the house. One of us was looking after the little one and the other was working on the house with my dad.
Less than 3 weeks into our stay, I slipped off the steep temporary stairs that lead from ground to upper floor and broke my back… Two compressed fractures on T5 and T7 and a minor fracture of the hip. I was very fortunate the spinal cord was not touched. I spent a few days at the hospital not being able to move and waiting for a custom upper body brace to be made for me. I was able to go back home fairly quickly but would not be able to work at all for the rest of our stay…
Attached are a few pictures summarizing the work that took place in 2013.
