-Elena-

It always made me feel a million times better when I woke up to see Joe smiling at me. "Morning Mrs Sugg. Ready to learn how to walk again?" He asked positively. I nodded. He passed me some breakfast and I ate it as he spoke to me about random things before the physiotherapist arrived with a wheelchair. I was helped into it and wheeled to Physiotherapy. "Okay Elena, my name is Diane, I'm going to be your physiotherapist. My job is to help you on your feet without the pain that may come with it again. I'm going to ask you first to try and stand up whilst holding this bars here." She instructed. I took a deep breath and felt excruciating pain as I got up to my feet slowly. I winced. I grabbed the bars and tried to keep my balance as I stood up but failed, I dropped dramatically and she had to help me up. "Don't worry. It's perfectly normal for that to happen. Shall we try again?" She smiled before writing it down in her notebook. I nodded. I concentrated immensely. I tried to stand up again, but collapsed again. I was embarrassed and frustrated. I tried again, and again, and again but failed each time. "I think that's enough today. We'll try again tomorrow. Stay positive." Diane reassured me. I smiled weakly.

As soon as we arrived back on my ward, I burst into to tears. "What if I'll never walk again?"I panicked as Joe looked at me with a concerned expression. He wheeled me into my room and shut the door behind him. He crouched down and lifted my chin with his finger. "You will walk again. You're just recovering from your coma. You need to stay positive. You're a fighter and stronger than you think. Besides, I believe in you." He said looking deeply into my eyes. He kissed my temple and smiled. "I don't know what I'd do without your cute little pep talks." I admitted. He winked and replied "That's what husbands are for." I smiled again. He kissed my lips and held my hand. "Anyway, if you end up paralysed, I think you'd rock a mobility scooter. We could spray paint it and stick Harry Potter things on it and put a whoopee cushion on it as a horn. You'd be the coolest person in the world." He teased. I laughed and rolled my eyes. The image of me driving down the streets in a bright pink mobility scooter with golden snitches drawn on it did amuse me. "I love you Joe Sugg." I beamed through my giggles. "I love you too Elena Sugg." He grinned.
