"I’m what you could call a regular flier if I got air miles!"

About: Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh at Little France / High Dependency Unit & Intensive Care Unit Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh at Little France / Transplants

(as the patient),

This time it was a planned stay so I reported to ward 206 as requested. Soon after, all admission papers and bloods were done for my procedure the following morning.

From ward staff to theatre staff I had no faults after my surgery I returned to ward 215. I was welcomed by regular faces, as the nurse said, I’m what you could call a regular flier if I got air miles for attendance to the hospital.

After a few days I was moved to ward 206 where I was greeted with welcome back hope your operation went well after a couple of days physio had me to the steps which I passed them later that day, I got away home.
