I suffered a broken ankle and a snapped tendon when I slipped on some ice. The ambulance arrived quite quickly.
I was transported to Ninewells Hospital where my injuries were assessed in a timely manner and I was quickly allocated a bed. I was operated on the following day. I was then tended to in the hospital and again treated with care and admirable professionalism.
After a few days I was transferred to Cairnie Lodge in Arbroath for rehab. The accommodation there was excellent and staff were outstanding. They struck the right balance between care and the discipline required as part of the rehab process.
I was given every encouragement by the staff to follow the programme laid down by the physio, who himself had a very positive attitude which helped me understand and appreciate the work I had to do to regain my fitness.
I could not have asked for more support from the staff and the physio than that which I experienced during my period in rehab which greatly helped me deal with what had been a traumatic experience.
