Finding Support – Susan2

 

Susan2 recalls how nurses went above and beyond to help her celebrate her 5th wedding anniversary.

Transcript

My fifth anniversary was spent in September in hospital. And it was the nurses at that point were taking really personal ownership of me, as a daughter, and they asked if I would like to go out for my anniversary and I thought ‘what do you mean?’. So, they explained ‘look dear, you get your sister to come bring you something nice and we’ll wrap up your arm and your cords and needles and everything else and you can go out with your husband for a meal’. So anyways we did that. My sister brought me up a dress. She did my hair. My husband came and picked me up and we went out for our fifth anniversary. [A nurse] says to me ‘Now you just be home by 11’. It became a real family, of course a real family. They were just incredible.
