Upward and onwards!

Posted By Mister Happy

"Upward and onwards!"

About: Pitlochry Community Hospital / Community In-patient Wards

(as the patient),

Before I was admitted to hospital I had not eaten, or drank anything including alcohol. It was as if my body was shutting down, eventually I fell and broke my pelvis.

I was admitted to Perth Royal infirmary. I contracted pneumonia with a Do not resuscitate order.

Eventually I was admitted to Pitlochry community hospital where I was cared for, for almost six months. 

I was an alcoholic!!!

After several falls and broken bones and compassionate care from all the staff, I'm home and daily I feel stronger.

I attended my first Alcoholic anonymous last night!

Upward and onwards!

Thanks again for your kindness, and care.
