"Deep gratitude for their understanding"

About: Stroke Unit / Stroke Unit - Occupational Therapy

(as the patient),

I spent 5 months in the Stroke Unit in PRI. I would like to comment on the experience that I have had. 

Most of my experiences have been with Kirsty from the Occupational Therapy team. I have also spent some time with Laura, which I have found similar in the care that they've shown me.

With Kirsty, down to the time when I made a coffee, and I made a comment to Kirsty that "I love you". This wasn't made as a flippant remark, it was made because of the full appreciation that I had for Kirsty after a matter of weeks during which my mood fluctuated. However, Kirsty's attitude towards me never changed. Which was annoying! She was always very professional, which was even more annoying but it was not lost on me the care that she had for one individual which I never had encountered before. 

Although my time with Laura has been shorter, the attitude that she has, has reflected Kirsty's. Which was also annoying! Together, what they had to put up with with me is way above anything they should have to experience. Despite that, they have shown professionalism that goes above and beyond, that I will take with me to shape the attitude I will have long after I leave here. 

Going forward, I can only express my deep gratitude for their understanding.

Thank you, so much, for taking the time to feedback your experience whilst in the Stoke Unit at PRI.

Your journey is life changing and challenging and to express your gratitude for the care you received during this 5 months is most rewarding. To hear that your care was met with professionalism and understanding is very positive and the standard of care we strive to achieve.
Kirsty and Laura will enjoy hearing and seeing your story and sharing your feedback with the OT teams and the wider team within the Stroke Unit.

The team thank you for sharing this story. We wish you well going forwards with your ongoing journey.
