A bit of a slip

I am now the proud owner of a beautiful glittering purple plaster cast which I will be carrying around with me for the next month or so. A visit to the walk-in centre at the Royal Hallamshire Hospital wasn't on my schedule for the day and I must admit there were other places I might have chosen to spend an hour or two but I am in awe of the skilled nursing sisters who straightened out my arm after a fall on the ice and very impressed by the expertise and artistry of staff at Sheffield Northern General Hospital who sent me away cautiously confident and sparkling . Hooray for the National Health Service. Let's hope we still have one after this government has finished its determined decimation of public services.
