well hello there!

A very good afternoon to one and all!

I`m back home now after my wonderful respite break.

I feel relaxed, calm and peaceful…it is a lovely feeling and I hope to hang onto it for a long time.

Honestly guys, the care I received from every single member of staff, from the Medical Director, doctors, nurses, and hospitality staff is incredible…no, it is credible, as I have had 2 previous stays there, which were also wonderful.

I had 6 visits from doctors, asking how i am and giving help by tweaking some of my meds to give me greater benefit, They have also added meds to help my bowel problems. The top doc has written to my neuro to remind him I am still here and have not disappeared, despite having had no word from him since Feb, when he said he was sort a dx for me.

I had back massages, foot and leg treatments, daily visits from the chefs to discuss menu options. I also went to the Day Hospice for craft sessions and to chat with other day patients. I met a new couple, of which the man has terminal cancer. I was telling them about the many benefits of attending the Hospice.

I gave them some of my handiwork. we got the sewing machine out and I showed them how to make quilted gift bags.

Today we decorated cookie/sweetie jars and they looked lovely.

But, yes it is a truly beautiful place.

I just wish we could all benefit from such a place.

Nice to be back with you all.

much luv, Polly xxxxx

“O” to have more of these respite places for people to be pampered"

You certainly sound well rested Poll and well deserving of this great break away.

Good to see you back…xx Maria.

Poll,

It’s great to have you back.

Is this place a four star retreat?? It just sounds so fantastic all the care and attention you have ben given. All those spa treatments as well.

Ooops just read your other post. Never mind. At least you are still sounding calm and relaxed. It’s just greaat to meet new friends isn’t it. Just hope now that you hear from your Neuro after all this time, while he has been making decisions about your dx.

Great to have you back. Yep, you have been missed by one and all.

The boards are going to be busy again!
