I was discharged from hospital after lunch and needed to wait on my friend to pick me up at 5pm. A porter took me to a discharge room where Nurse Siobhan was looking after the room. I asked if I could lay my head down on the other half of the sofa while no one needed the other seat. I was warmly told to lie down as long as I wanted. I was happy to just lay my head on my coat when next thing Siobhan appeared with a blanket and pillow for me. She also gave me a bottle of water which was great as I wasn't fit to walk too far to get water over the next 3 hours! It such so kind and unexpected. It really helped me get some much-needed rest. When I woke up after a nap, I enjoyed an interesting chat with Siobhan, she's a lovely person and I hope she continues to enjoy her well-deserved semi-retirement.
