care after my stroke

Posted By JD 83

"care after my stroke"

About: Cameron Hospital / Stroke care Victoria Hospital / Stroke

(as a service user),

I was picked up at 3 am by Ambulance and not taken into the VHK  until 6am  I had a long wait.

I did not find out that I had a Stroke until the Saturday afternoon after I had a scan. Everything was explained clearly to myself and my family.

I was moved onto Letham Ward Cameron Hospital to continue with my Rehabilitation.

I have no complaints about this ward at all, maybe the floors and bathroom need done up.

My bed is comfortable and I am nice and warm. The staff are funny and good I can ask them for anything.

Therapies I have received on the ward are Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy, Physio has been really good and Chris and Carolyn both know their jobs.

Everything is explained to me clearly.

I do not enjoy the food too much, the staff always ask if they can get me something else. There is always tea, coffee  juice , milk and biscuits available for patients .

Overall the care in Letham is very good.
