"Great nursing care at my local GP Surgery"

After requiring surgery at Ninewells Hospital, Dundee to remove a pilonidal sinus, I required a lot of daily post-op treatment at my local small GP surgery, done by a couple of lovely nurses (weekday) and at my local infirmary (at weekends and bank holidays. ) This went on a week short of four months! Every single day I had an appointment to remove my dressing, debride the very deep wound (2in deep, 1in wide), assess it and re-dress it accordingly. It wasn't the most pleasant experience of my life having people look at my backside, but I must thank the nurses who all did a wonderful job looking after me every day and patching me up every single time without fault. They were very friendly and helpful but also professional in their jobs too, I cannot fault them. I lost count how many large dressings and Mefix tape I got through in those four months, but finally my wound had healed up enough that I no longer required daily visits to my nurses. Hooray! After the first week of dressing changes, you quickly get over strangers looking closely at your bum and to be fair, if a group of rugby players were in the office at the same time as me, I wouldn't bat an eyelid at them.

I did show my gratitude to my nurses by giving them a box of choccies each as well as a thank you card. I know they were only doing their job, but to put up with me every day....they deserve a medal!
