Her help and kindness got me walking

"Her help and kindness got me walking"

(as the patient),

Early January I had a bad fall and unfortunately hurt my ankle, I was confined to the house for a few weeks then I met my physiotherapist Lesley what a godsend. Lesley started my exercises gently then progressed to taking me down stairs and week by week she gradually to me out for short walks without her help and kindness got me walking. One fantastic lady. Lesley is with Rutherglen primary care. A big shout out for them
