Hi from Queen Lizzie's Hospital, Govan.

When I lived in Glasgow the new hospital was affectionately called the Death Star because from the air the building looks like a star.

Hope you are getting better each day LadyH.
I bet you are looking forward to seeing your chums at home, and they you

Hope you are well enough to get home soon LadyHD.
There is no place like home and your own bed.

I am well acquainted with the new hospital now and it is a huge improvement to my experience in the SG in the 70s that I mentioned.

Hope you get home well enough and get that bottle of prosecco open.

All my younger siblings (all past 50 now) were born at the Southern General . My mum was a nurse there in the 60's too .

Hope you feel better soon LHD

Get well soon and I hope you can go home asap

I hope you are home now.
There are parts of the old buildings still in use, well at least up to pre Lockdown. Some of my appointments take place there.
My wee granddaughter loves to stand and await the arrival of the helicopter on the roof!

*Daddima*. We both seem to have every reason to call it The Suffering General. My youngest DD was born there 43 yrs ago. A nightmare experience!

That was the old Southern General. This is the shiny new Southern General, NHS Scotland's very expensive showcase that's only about five years old. It's had some bad publicity but I've been in a few times now for the same thing and I reckon if you are going to be ill there are far worse places to be.

LadyHonoraria I hope you’ve had a reasonable day and are improving.

On the road!!

Hope today found you a step further in the road to recovery LadyH

Hello Ladyh. Yuncertainly sound very confident and upbeat. Great! Hope you're home soon. ?

Sorry, Lady H, of course I send get well wishes!

I still call it The Suffering General but many staff call it Bettys. Queen Elizabeth University Hospital is too much of a mouthful. GUH would have been better in my humble opinion.

Hope you are well on the way to recovery LadyH and home soon. ?

Suffering General here too! It’s where our two most recent grandsons were born.

Hello LadyHonoria . How are you feeling today? Are the antibiotics and rest doing their job and shifting the infection?
Glad to hear you don’t need to worry about your cats, but they will of course be happy to see you home a.s.a.p. ?

Thank you all for your kind wishes. The people on my close will be dropping in on the management so they'll get fed, watered and played with but they think that's a poor substitute for the real staff so I expect there will be time to be made up when I get home.

It was as good a place to be as any last night, Sparklefizz. Usually I don't notice things going on outside the hospital window but I was really aware of the storm last night. There was snow on the Renfrewshire hills this morning but the sun is shining brightly now.

Get well soon, LadyHD. Sorry to read you're in hospital and as a fellow asthmatic, I understand.

As a fellow asthmatic I wish you well LadyHD steroids, oxygen etc should do the trick and get you home soon

And I too hope you have a kind neighbour who will care for your cats ?

The U was baffling me, then it clicked!!! ☺

Get Well wishes to you LadyHD. Sorry to hear you are in hospital ?

All the wheelchairs have SGUH stencilled on them! I think the boss of the Trust was angling for a knighthood.
