I have been going to Strathcarron for day care for 4 yours now and I am so happy with it. My wife lives in a home so my day care really makes a difference to me.
They have taught me relaxation which I do most days when I am there. I can now go into relaxation myself which really helps me in other ways. I had to go to hospital for two biopsies one on each side of my head. When they did the right side it was so painful and I was so uncomfortable. Then I remembered my relaxation techniques so I used this when they were doing the left side. I fell asleep..... The staff said it was a more difficult biopsy on the left but because I had managed to be relaxed it had made it easier for us both. Now when I am in pain I can place my hand on the sore area and go into relaxation. Usually I fall asleep and when I wake the pain is gone... Some of the other men at day care were saying they thought relaxation was cissy but I told them it was totally not and how it helps me. They are giving it a try.
I find it so good to share my worries at Day care with staff and other day care patients. The staff are excellent and everyone right through to the people who serve tea and coffee are great. Everyone is treated the same.
I have been getting help with my ears and after some treatment i felt a pop this morning and could hear my fridge for the first time in a long time.
