"Thanks to all"

Hi at modular ward, I want to tell you how much kindness I received on your ward while having my hip replacement. Due to my family bereavement, death of my son I was in a very fragile state and made no secret that I was heartbroken. Everyone who looked after me was tender in my care and made my stay easier. All the people, staff, porters, tea ladies who made my decaf tea without complaint. Physio was gentle when I struggled and was tearful and said I don’t think I will ever be able to get out of my bed or walk again. They reassured me I would, and I did! Even going up 26 stairs up and down. My pain situation was very complicated with staff, as I am not able to take usual pain killers. However my GP helped me get over this and I am now back on my normal medication and usual pain doses, with no harm to me. Thank you all again, as a Christian I have prayed and given thanks to all of you individually.

To the staff, who was there when I was admitted and did my catheter, who explained things to me fully, who looked after me and administered painkillers ,always helped me when I was in pain quickly, made my tea multiple times and never complained and taught me how to strip wash and helped me wash.

My surgeon who did a fantastic job once again with my hip.

The porter who took me to xray and came back for me

The wonderful anaesthetist who treat me with such kindness and compassion despite his own grief of losing multiple family members in Gaza.

I am sorry I cannot remember all your names.

Thank you all very much
