This Woman Was Dumped Five Days After Being Paralysed and Has Now Found Love and Can Walk

11Her ex-say

Interestingly, Riona's ex-husband Richard has claimed that their marriage was over even before she had the stroke. In fact, he says he asked for a divorce the morning before her stroke. Even if that were true, it's a ghastly thing to abandon the kids and their mother at such a point in their lives. Riona has admitted that she was miserable in that marriage and had an unpleasant married life of 14 years with her ex.

Riona says that she is back in the gym and not only exercises every day but can walk at a steady pace. Although she doesn't cover long distances without her wheelchair, her progress in just two years has been awe-inspiring. Though she will always have certain issues with her nerves and muscles, she can work out like a regular person and has even posted pictures of her lifting weights at the gym.
