Was a promo producer, making trailers for television, before I got published. I enjoyed my job: it was fast, creative and varied. And then, the unexpected happened. Agonising pain in my knee literally knocked me off my feet. A torn meniscus, I was told, which could be fixed by a minimally invasive procedure called knee arthroscopy. I was sure I’d be up and running a couple of weeks after surgery. But that was not the case. Another surgery followed, and then another one. My knee simply refused to heal. Stuck on the sofa with my leg up, I had to face the terrifying reality: I couldn’t walk and therefore I couldn’t do my television job.
