"My Uncle"

Twice my Uncle has required the service of the POW Community Nurses.

Both times have bren the result of injuries sustained from falls out of his control,  firstly being hit by a gurney hose and secondly by  an ebike,  both on local footpaths. Each time he fell forward resulting in traumatic,  hand , arm and knee injuries,  as well as a nasty facial bruise the second time.  Bleeding +++ thanks to Apixaban and emotionally devastating.

Thanks to the expert care and management not just of the physical wounds but the person as well,  my Uncle's wounds have healed well with no complication of infection or breakdown.  

Most importantly the pain has subsided and he has regained a feeling of confidence and independence,  both essential as a 90year old still living independently. 

For that we have Hazel and her colleagues to thank for that. This service is greatly appreciated  and needs continue to be funded accordingly. Thank you all so much,  on behalf of myself and my 90year old Uncle.
