Wonderful part Hospices play

"Wonderful part Hospices play"

About: St Lukes Hospice

(as the patient),


I went to St Luke's Hospice after a quadruple heart bypass and a stroke. I felt so helpless and low and thought this was the last step in my life. How wrong I was.Going there just once a week got me in a positive frame of mind as the staff where all so caring and very special. They helped me walk and get back my confidence, They even sent a volunteer one a week to get me out and walk a little way up the road. Now I have improved so much I can walk properly again I don't go to the Hospice as much only to a drop in centre they have.  I don't really know how I would have been without them. A wonderful place.
