When I first met Judy in May, my husband had been admitted to Galloway Hospital the day before. I was very upset as he had just been diagnosed with Dementia, and that had floored me, as it's always been the two of us for the past 56 years and we were never blessed with a family. Judy sat there with her arms round me and let me talk all about it. She was so comforting, I don't know how I would have got through without her friendly smile and help.
I had another meeting yesterday regarding what the possibilities were when my husband would be discharged. She let me have my say - what I thought at the time was a good plan, but Judy had made other enquiries and when I finished she then told me, at this moment in time, it wasn't feasible to take him home as I thought. He needed 24 hour care at that moment and I couldn't cope with that. What she told me made sense and I bless the day when I met her.
She has been so kind, informative, and most of all, a most understanding person I have met since my husband took ill nearly 4 years ago. God Bless you Judy and THANK YOU.
