We are on holiday in Tenerife and are unable to return home, On Friday I fell into my chair making a very large wound in my leg, I dressed it but on Saturday it was so painful and sore so I decided to see if the clinic ( national Health ):would treat me yes they were wonderful we we only allowed in one at a time but the care and treatment was fantastic, Inwas given antibiotics and a lovely nurse who did not speak English dressed my leg. I had another appointment on Monday for a new dressing and again fantastic treatment also they have given me another appointment for another dressing on Thursday. I asked about my medication and I have a appointment with the doctor next week who will give me a prescription for all my medication. What amazing service a big thank you to all the medical care people nurses, doctors in all countries for looking after us all. God Bless you all Love Liz x🙏🌹

So glad to hear you're getting such good care Liz. I'm guessing you're caught up in the grounding of flights, so thank goodness you're able to get your meds ! And what a relief for you to be met with such kind and accommodating healthcare so far from home.

Hope your wounded leg heals well and you're home safe & sound before too long.... Cat x

Thanks Cat, the nurses and doctors are all amazing and so very kind unfortunately due to my TBI/ stroke my balance is so poor which is why I bumped into the chair but thank goodness for the N.H S in Tenerife and the U.K. Take care Love Liz x🌹🙏
