Charlein said that he had made a “quick decision” to go to the South East Asian Island in December 2023 to search for better life.

He sold all his belongings and next month rode on a flight on a tier ticket.

“I just wanted to go out and wanted to see the world and I had to find the happiness I was getting,” he told BBC Radio Scotland Drivetime program,

But in July, Charlein and his then companions were traveling through a remote village, with plans to climb Mount Agung – the highest mountain on the island.

“I was on a scooter and a truck came a little closer,” he said. “As soon as I slowed down, the bike stumbled and the truck hit me.

“My whole right hand got stuck inside the wheel of the truck and was completely crushed.

“As I pulled out, the skin and fat and fingers closed.”

A couple of her partner and local people stopped helping – but she said “they could not do anything”.

“The accident was very serious, it was like a horror film,” said Charlen.

“The skin, muscles, tissue and blood were all on the ground.

“He called an ambulance but it took about an hour to come and the doctors said that I should bleed in five minutes.”

He said that a hospital refused to take him as the injury was so serious, and the employees tried to take him to the main hospital in the area instead.

“There was no medicine, there was nothing they could,” he said. “It was just a terrible eccentric accident and I was bleeding for six hours.

“I lost half my blood supply and I should have died. But then we managed to go to the main hospital where he did the first surgery and saved my life.”

He said: “I don’t know if I will ever be able to explain the pain that I was.

“Usually with these painful accidents, they say you block it.

“But with me, I knew that I was actually trying to tie my skin back with a string from the camping bag.”

Fortunately, doctors were able to keep their hands back together using PIN.

But there was a difference till his next surgery due to problems with his health insurance.

Delay meant that doctors had to take skin from her thigh to help re -form more parts of her hand. Overall, he underwent four surgery within just two weeks.

Charlein said that she was at the “highest level” of Phentenal, Traumdol, ketamine and her recovery was fired 20 to 30 bullets every day.

“I was still screaming in pain every day,” she said. “I felt pain. And I felt that all that blood leaves my body.”

He said that the medical staff discussed whether he should return to Britain before taking a decision that he should return to Britain.

But Charlein said that when she returned to the UK, she was in the hospital for only one week before she was sent home with physiotherapy instructions.

She was told that it was likely that her arm would be contracted and disabled, although she has managed to maintain some emotion and mobility.

“I have no feeling in most of my fingers and I am in pain all day,” he said.

“I can pick up some things with a thumb and finger, but I cannot use a fork and knife, I can’t take things on that hand and it is to do small things like brushing my hair There is struggle for.

“I was receiving physio once a week in NHS, but it was not working. I needed extensive physio and care and I also need to get a scan somehow that tells me what the harm is. So we know what needs to be done. “

Charlein said that coming up with trauma was “really difficult” and also experienced suicidal ideas.

But he said: “Now I can be grateful that I am alive when the reality is that I should die or lose my hand.

“I just have hope and belief that there is a surgeon in the future that can cure hand and give me more mobility and less pain.”

She now works as an empowerment coach and recently decided to return to Bali after struggling with life in the UK.

“I was building a life in Bali and I had a community,” he said.

“The UK is very cold and I have been told that I am at risk for bone issues and this is not something I want to take. Just cold was very painful alone.”

She said that her family supported her decision and she returned to the island on Friday.

“Interestingly enough, my housing is right where the accident occurred,” he said. “So I am confident that I must be here to fix it.

“I believe that my purpose in life is to help others and I want to make sure that I face everything and remove all this.

“I just want to continue chasing my dream because death really changes your attitude on life.”
