A Comforting Smile

[carni 10,094]

Last week i was taken into emergency hospital,i was very frightened and thankfully i recovered from the problem,the nurses in the stroke ward were so kind,the lovely smile and kind words from them made me feel a lot less alone, just one nurse did not smile once,very efficient, but very distant,i know they have such a great responsibility on there shoulders,that i couldnt do myself,but just talking from my frightening experience last week,it was the smiles that took away some of my fears.

Thank you for your good wishes,I would like to thank you also for this great nottstalga site,i have never lost my love for Nottingham and discovering all you people with the same feelings about the place as i have is great,it is wonderful to read about so many places and experiences that people talk about that are so like my own life before i left Notts.I am getting quite addicted to nottstalga and intend to stay that way.

I am getting quite addicted to nottstalga and intend to stay that way.

As long as you don't become so addicted that you have to go back into hospital to be weaned off us.

Get well soon Carni. I am obsessed with Nottstalgia too. There's always so much to read and so much to contribute to. Well done to all concerned.

Hello Cami,

I'm a newbe here and so far so good, really enjoying the good folks on this website, they're honest and always have something to say.

Glad you're feeling better, please stay that way. I work with handicapped people of all ages, some are unable to speak - it's my smile and theirs that says it all.....I'm also a big believer in hugs...holding hands and a friendly pats on the back never hurt either.....from there it's all down-hill easy as cake! It all starts with a smile now doesn't it........such a small positive thing.

[carni 10,094]

Thanks again for all your good wishes, you have all certainly put a smile on my face.

I know what you mean,when we were courting in the 60s and my hubby used to come to Notts at the weekends from Wolverhampton i would have to translate for my parents,he would say Am Yow Alroight, of course meaning Ya alrate duck,he says we dont sound the ck at the end of duck, making it sound like Du,but i tell him what would a yamyam know,lol only kidding.

In the early hours of Thursday morning, once again I found myself at W-ton New Cross in need of assistance, and I want to praise all of the people who looked after me so caringly. I have been in the predicament a few times in the last few years and not all ways have I been made to feel as comfortable. From the moment I arrived, the staff on every level were so kind, I was treated so well and that caring smile was on the face of every one who treated me. From the nurse who was watching over me and almost force feeding me with tea to the Doctor when I cried like a baby as he put the Canula ( soz I can't spell it) in my arm, to the kind person who found me a delicious Lasagne and Jelly and Ice cream for my unexpected visit. I know our NHS can have so many problems, but in my hour of need, everyone concerning my welfare this time was fantastic. Brilliant Care.

I don't know,carni, we take our eyes off you for five minutes and you're in hospital... . Seriously, carni, I hope you're ok and that you recover from your health problem.

[Trevor S 2,003]

Carni, congratulations on passing the 6000 mark and don't you dare get sick again...you hear?

[carni 10,094]

I have been lurkin in the background, reading all of your night owls posts. I can't resist signing in to thank you all for your kind words, you made me feel good. I'm going back to Lurkin now, and I am forcing yawns, hoping I can induce sleep. I don't hold out much hope .Lol Night Night You Lot.

[MelissaJKelly 2,121]

Hope you get a good night's rest. Sounds like it's much needed. Good night to you too!x
