"My hospital admission"

I fell ill recently and was admitted to intensive care at Queens Medical Centre on the Monday where I was diagnosed with meningitis. I then moved to High Dependency for two days and then transferred to Nottingham City Hospital Nightingale Isolation ward. I cannot speak too highly of the care I have received at both hospitals. Having been a nursing sister, I know about good nursing practice, and both hospitals provided that in spades, as did the medical and domestic staff.

Whilst I was in hospital, on the Thursday, I felt well enough to have a shower on my own,although there was an offer of assistance.I managed the shower O.K., but found the shower tray very deep.On attempting to get out,I stood on the rim of the shower with my left foot, but as I placed my right foot on the rim, I slipped backwards and banged my back on the wall rim.I screamed out and immediately four members of staff came to my aid. I acknowledge that I should not have stood on the rim,but when the ward sister interviewed me,she admitted that they had been waiting for a "refurb" in the bathroom for some time. In no way do I hold the hospital responsible for my accident.
