When she was 19 years old, Deanne Moses-Wright underwent an operation that was intended to fix her scoliosis, a condition that causes an abnormal curve and twist to the spine. But complications arose that that had life-changing consequences.
“After complications during and after surgery I was given 48 hours to live, but I’m thankfully still here,” she says. “I was in hospital for most of the next two years, and my list of issues is quite long, but each of them affects me in a different way. I’m very lucky that I can use my legs, but it’s not always safe for me to do so.”
