“I was the only person to be injured in my neighbourhood. I was trying to save my elderly aunt when the wall fell on me. Thankfully, she was not hurt. But I spent three months in bed. I could not even move for the first 13 days. I thought my life was over. I am diabetic, so the doctor could not operate on my leg and back quickly. Months have passed now, but I am still in pain. I can’t sit in one place for long. My leg is still swollen. I have to go to the hospital for monthly check-ups and I have to bear all the medical expenses myself. I have started going back to work now. I have to have an operation soon on my leg, and another one on my back. After that, I am hopeful things will get better.”
