Thinks the district nurses are absolutely wonderful.

 



But the district nurses I'll praise. District nurses are absolute angels. I had a lovely one and she used to come everyday to do the dressings at home and quite different [to the hospital nurses]. She had two pieces. She undid a pack, and one she put all the dirties on and one had all the clean and she washed her hands, and she is lovely. 

She still comes. She says she loves coming because I'm always cheerful and we have a nice little chat. I don't need her now because I don't have dressings, but she'll come or ring me about every couple of weeks. So the district nurses I think are absolutely wonderful.
