I suffer with bad anxiety and at the moment, with our ward having a patient with covid-19, has made me become very anxious and scared.
However the staff that are caring for me have been absolute angels. Since I arrived, they have been so upbeat and positive. With no family or friends coming in, the staff have taken up that role, as they are always there when you need them. They are the most friendly and chatty people you will meet. What makes my day is seeing them come into me. Even though they have a lot of PPE on, you can still see their smiley eyes underneath it all. They know how to make you feel comfortable and at ease with all the madness that is going on, which I thank them for.
It really makes you see what covid is really like, being in this ward. Not only does it affect the patients but also the staff, as it makes their job a lot more difficult. These people have all my respect and I cannot thank them enough.
