"What an amazing team of people"

I had a knee arthroscopy. I was extremely anxious- about literally everything! I’m afraid of needles, worried about the general anaesthetic, terrified of not coping with the pain in front of my already anxious teenager etc etc.

I didn’t hold it together very well which is a bit mortifying. Every single person I came into contact with was efficient, patient, and caring at all times. I ended up staying overnight, more for my own benefit than medical need. I am conscious that this caused extra work for people working overnight and the next morning and I’m so grateful to them. It really helped to be able to stay a bit longer and I feel more confident to cope at home and hopefully heal more quickly as a result.

Thank you to all those who looked after me so well, including all the people behind the scenes that I’m sure we don’t see. Thanks again.
