she shares. Risheeka is now on the mend. She attributes her ability to stand to her doctors, nurses, family members, and physiotherapists. “The doctors and hospital staff took care of me like a baby. I had two surgeries. The docors put a titanium rod to support my back and made me an iron woman. After some R&D, we decided to go for physiotherapy. Soon, I got back my bowel control, which, I was told, was the first sign of recovery,” Risheeka says. “My family was my biggest support. Two days after the accident, my brother Aditya came up to me and said, ‘We will ensure you get back on your feet in the next few months’,” Risheeka shares. “Since I was an athlete and a yoga practitioner, the journey towards healing became a bit easy. I did not resort to any kind of allopathy meditation. It was only ayurveda and physiotherapy. Like how all difficult roads lead to beautiful destinations, 1.5 years later, I am finally off the wheelchair, and it feels so free. It feels like a rebirth. I am thankful that God chose me as his soldier to fight this battle. Not everyone gets a chance to see their life almost end and come back only to appreciate it more,” she says. Risheeka still needs crutches to move around. “Sometimes, I still lose my balance while walking and get exhausted after taking a couple of steps. But I am confident that soon I will be able to walk freely without any support. I am really looking forward to get back to running,” she concludes.
