"I feel like they actually cared about how I felt"

I've been recieving ongoing care for over a year now at the Ladybank health centre in Ladybank, Fife.

Initially I was attending the podiatrist Lesley. She was fantastic and helped alot but my foot only partially healed. So she spoke to the nurses on the compression team who took over my case .

The usual nurses I see are Claire + Andy. They have been brilliant, very friendly but extremely compitant + professional. I was very anxious about the compression as I suffer from restless legs + am slightly phobic about cramps, but they explained that it would actually help with those issues+ reassured me that it would hopefully help my foot heal.

The compression really helped+ my foot is almost healed. I recently moved from the wrapped bandages onto a velcro system + will hopefully be discharged in a few weeks.

I would highly commend everyone who has treated me. I'm not the easiest patient due to anxiety, general mental health+ travel problems, I was  often late but they were very understanding . Despite my anxiety I had a very positive experience+ feel like they actually cared about how I felt .

Thanks to everyone involved, especially Andy who taught me my new mantra - Legs matter!!
