A woman has been left unable to walk after a group holiday to Portugal.
Debbie Aspinall went on holiday to Faro in Portugal with her husband, Warren, and a group of friends but when she slipped by the side of the swimming pool at their villa her life changed forever. The 48-year-old broke the fifth vertebrae in her spine and was left paralysed from the waist down, initially putting it down to "shock".
She told the ECHO: "We were going on holiday to Portugal with a group of friends. Me and Warren had just started our new business and this holiday was meant to be the last one before we got properly busy.
