CHAPTER 4
As she made her way down the steps toward the awaiting car, Tina felt the Californian sun on her face. Today would be another wonderful sunny day. She was not bitter at the thought of not experiencing the joys of seeing another summer’s day, she had grown accustomed to experiencing things a different way, and the warmth on her face at that moment was enough for her to enjoy the sunny morning offering.
She no longer hesitated when negotiating her front door steps, she had got used to them and could handle the descent without even thinking about it. Each step had a different feel under her foot and she knew when she got to the last one because that step felt a little bit loose.
She climbed in the passenger side of the car and greeted her friend.
"Good morning Dana!" she said in a chirpy voice. "what a beautiful day!" she added.
"Well, hello to you too!" came the reply.
Dana Fairbanks had been Tina’s rock over the past months. When Tina left hospital after the accident, she entered a programme of rehabilitation. Her life, as she had known it, was no longer an option. She had to relearn everything from the most basic to the down right challenging. Dana had been assigned to her care and was there to teach and support her in re-establishing her new life and over the months they had become firm friends.
Before the accident Tina had been teaching English in the local school but her new circumstances forced her to relinquish the job she loved. It had been a tough time for her. How was she going to survive with no income? Tina had no family, her parents had passed away a number of years ago, neither did she have any siblings. Her boyfriend at the time, although attentive at first, had grown tired of the constant hospital visits and the first frustrating months of Tina’s rehabilitation took their toll on their relationship. He had left her. Tina was devastated but it had made her more determined to not let her disability hold her back and that she would eventually lead a life as normal as her condition would allow.
