"Ileostomy Surgery"

About: The Ulster Hospital / Ward 5A The Ulster Hospital / Ward 5C The Ulster Hospital / Ward 6B

(as the patient),

I had been unwell with Ulcerative Colitis and was admitted to hospital. Firstly started in Ward 6B in the Ulster Hospital, then moved to 5A where I remained until I was taken for surgery. There was nurses that stood out in that ward, Lesley, Francesca and Sarah. All staff were lovely but these 3 women made me feel very at ease for the duration of my time there. I couldn't thank them enough. I'll never forget them. 

After surgery I moved to ward 5C to recover for a week. The staff all were so lovely and attentive. Dealt with me on my down days and never made me feel like a burden. There was so many names, unfortunately I can't remember them but I know they were all fab!
