Where this was said

Dax wants to worship Susie's grandfather, and she obliges with the remarkable story. He was a sponsored BSA works motocross rider in his prime, ran a motorcycle shop in England, and refused to adopt Japanese bikes when they flooded the market. He relocated to Scotland to become a commercial diver, collecting fallen propellers from ships on the west coast. Then he went diving while unwell, ascended too quickly, and suffered decompression sickness. He describes lying in his bunk and noticing he couldn't lift his leg back to the bed — the moment he knew something was catastrophically wrong. Susie has only ever known him in a wheelchair. Yet he took up paragliding, broke his ankle in a crash, and opened a caravan park. His wife cared for him entirely without outside help — something Susie now recognises, as a wife and mother herself, as 'incredible.'
