It was then that Brook had an epiphany. “After about four or five days, they eventually got a wheelchair in. I remember my mum and dad and my missus and my daughter came and wheeled me out. I remember looking up at the sky as we left the hospital and a gush of wind came. It was one of the small things that people take for granted. Looking at the sun, seeing birds fly... I was thinking how lucky I was to be alive. I was taking it all in. I was looking at my daughter and she was smiling and I was thinking how overwhelming it all was. I could have easily died.”
