"Shuttleworth Ward"

I was admitted to Shuttleworth Ward in September 2016 suffering from an abcess which had caused sepsis and a flesh eating bug on the outside of my vagina and downwards through to my bottom

Over 24 days I had 5 surgeries to rectify and treat the injuries including a surgical wound extending from my bottom to my tummy and various treatments and dressing changes on the Ward

I'm all this time I was treated with kindness sympathy and understanding having lost my husband to renal failure in 2014 causing grief depression and anxiety

My diabeties was treated in an expert way and I had the care of the dietian as I had lost a lot of weight and had disregarded my health since my husbands death

The surgical staff the nursing staff the support staff the Physiotherapy staff absolutely everyone was wonderful

I left Shuttleworth Ward with a lighter heart and was in awe of the treatment I received by the overworked and incredible NHS

Thank you a tin of sweeties and cards seems such a poor way to repay the people who not only saved by life but also made me feel that my life is worthwhile even without my precious husband
