The job was to build nine houses, but there was a Grade II-listed brick building that had to stay. Part of the building – a 6m-high wall – came straight down on top of me and covered me up to my neck. I could wiggle my toes and move the fingers on my right hand, but my left arm was badly crushed. I was airlifted to hospital and immediately had a six-hour operation to try to save my left arm. I was left with about six inches of my left arm, which I can’t move very well.
