After five months in Broadgreen Hospital, she moved to a specialist brain injury unit, where she has lived since November.
“Everything is difficult because I have tremors in my hands,” she said.
“Even putting on make up or having a cup of coffee. Just every day things you take for granted are so difficult.”
But Raina said she is the kind of person who likes to keep busy and challenge herself – leading her to take on a 5km walking challenge, to raise money for The Brain Charity.
The Brain Charity is a Liverpool-based organisation helping people affected by all forms of neurological conditions, across England and Wales.
“I’m definitely still grieving but my brain never stops ticking so I like to set myself challenges,” she said.
Raina has also written a children’s book about brain injuries – and plans on writing a second, about functions of the brain.
“I’ve written a kids book to help children understand their brain injury,” she said.
“I wrote it for my children, I wanted them to understand my brain injury and why I am the way I am.
“The brain is so important, it’s the only organ we’ve got that can’t be transplanted.”
