My Journey by Andrew Watson
My name is Andrew Watson, I am 54, married to Simone with two girls Chloe and Maisie aged 10 and 8 and two dogs.
In September 2008, two weeks before my wedding, I had a serious accident in which I broke my pelvis in four places and damaged my hip.
I spent 41 days at Sunderland Royal infirmary having my pelvis put back together and a lot of physiotherapy. The Doctors said that there was a 50/50% chance that I would be able to walk properly again.

Self Management Courses for carers and partners of people with neurological conditions
These courses provide a special opportunity for carers and partners to build skills and gain insights in the self-management approach to health. The aim is to help carers and partners to share self-management ideas with the person they care about. Importantly it is also an opportunity for them to feel more supported and less alone in their responsibilities.
