"fantastic physio team who kept me motivated"

About: Glasgow Royal Infirmary / Physiotherapy

(as the patient),

After being in hospital for almost 3 months with covid 19, and a multitude of complication including being in a coma and ventilated for 6 weeks, I woke up with a trachea and unable to move, talk, eat or walk.. The physio team at the Royal jubilee and most importantly at Glasgow Royal Infirmary were superb. The physio team assigned to myself were fantastic in their manner to ensure that I continued to be motivated and worked hard to get home, whenever I felt low or unable they kept my mood up by using positive reinforcement's, this ensuring within 3 weeks I went from sitting to being able to walk with a 3 wheeled frame. My physio continues at home and I still carry the motivation that was instilled on me by both hospitals teams. When I am tired I say to myself the mantra of my team which is simply 'I've got this'.

Hello Casryan29,

I am sorry to read that you have been so unwell recently. It must have been a very frightening experience but I'm so pleased that you are on the mend now and that you have been looked after so well.

Thank you for taking the time to share this lovely feedback about our staff at Glasgow Royal Infirmary. I have shared this post with the Professional Lead for Physiotherapy for the board and she was delighted know what a positive impact the team at GRI had on your care and recovery.

I wish you all the very best for your continued recovery, as you say: you've got this!

Warmest wishes,
Rachel
