  • Waiting to Recover

    What is it like to be a bored 4 year old who has to spend long periods of time in hospital with dodgy hips? Not as bad as you might think...
  • Conversations with Customers - first 23 days!

    For example, I had a call from a lovely woman in Limerick, whose sister has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and so she finds it difficult to turn in bed at night. She explained to me how the medication for this condition wears off during the night, so muscles get stiff and it’s more difficult for people to get out of bed to use the bathroom. I also had an email from an occupational therapist who has a patient with an in-operable hernia and who finds it difficult to get trousers that will stay up on him.
