Stand up

At a hotel near the Red Sea, she sat in the lobby with a suitcase and waited for the bus to arrive and take her to the airport. The girl is tanned, strong, her arms and legs are strong, like those of a pagan statue. Says:

— As a child, I did diving, by the way, quite successfully. I was on the city team. But one day during training I jumped unsuccessfully: I had a spinal injury and was paralyzed. Legs. I was in bed for a year and a half, my mother and brother looked after me. One day everyone left home and I was left alone. I lay down and read a book. And suddenly the doorbell rang! I forgot that I was paralyzed and stood up. I couldn’t take a step anymore, I fell right away. But this was the beginning.
