"I’ll not forget the kindness and care you showed me"

I was nervous about going into hospital. I have serious issues with mobility and don’t adjust to new surroundings well. 

I received a wonderful welcome when I arrived. I was enabled to be as independent as my condition would allow. Assistance was not forced on me but I had the comfort in knowing that those working on the ward were happy to help me when I needed. 

All the staff were wonderful and were generous with their time. Whether this was a chat with the cleaning team or the medical staff.

I left the ward refreshed, happier, in better shape and feeling I ad been cared for.

Thank you everyone on ward B1. I’ll not forget the kindness and care you showed me.  It took a very short time to realise my reality under the auspices of the Dumfries and Galloway Social service. I arrived back on earth with a big bump!!
