My Nanny passed away last October, this had been something we were expecting as she had had a very bad fall a few months before, she was admitted into the Astley Ainsley Hospital in Edinburgh to recover, but i think she started to like being looked after to much and didn't want to leave there when they said she would be moving on. The staff were great to her, the hospital has lovely grounds, but the only down side was that the ward she stayed in had the worst view... EVER!! i'm not exagerating the view from the McCallum ward was a brick wall. Some bright spark at some point decided it would be great to build a conservatory/tv room for the patients but in the process block a ward window, leaving a gap of 3-4ft to let a little light in. It was a dreary, dull room!
So we decided to brighten the place up a little by making a 10x12ft banner that would improve the view.... here's the finished results.
The staff and patients have told us that McCallum ward is now the most popular ward, thanks to the banner. It's so nice being able to do something for the folks that took great care of my gran!
Chuffed!
