COVID 19 stay in hospital

"COVID 19 stay in hospital"

About: Physiotherapy / Physiotherapy (inpatients) Victoria Hospital / Intensive Care Unit

(as the patient),

I unfortunately caught COVID 19 at the of October 2020. It got so bad I had to be taken to hospital on the 7th November where I was taken to ICU and put on a ventilator that night I was in ICU for 15 days. Then taken to ward 53. I was there for 2 weeks. While I was there I had support from pyso and when I was leaving I had support from OT with equipment to help me at home.

I was treated with so much amazing care, from all staff they were so helpful, as I couldn’t do anything for myself, they treated me with so much care I felt they help keep my dignity. The pyso’s helped me walk again with so much encouragement. I went from a sling to a stick amazing. I have never meet some many wonderful people, including the cleaners, who always said hello to the wonderful food. 

I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart thanks to you all I am a COVID survivor.

Dear Darling60,

Thank you so much for taking the time to post your kind words on Care Opinion.

Its heartening to know your Covid hospital experience was indeed a positive one and delightful to know you felt well cared for by all the staff you came into contact with

A stay in Intensive Care can be harrowing and difficult to recover from, so its lovely to hear you are recuperating well.

I will pass on your thanks to the staff and wish you well in your Covid recovery.

Take Care,

Kindest regards

Colette
