Last week, my grandfather was in hospital for three days. He had a minor operation on his knee. The operation went well and he came home on Wednesday.
The hospital was large and clean. The corridors were long and the smell was distinctive. My mum knew her way around because she visits patients in her job.
My grandfather was in a ward with four other patients. He had a bed by the window, which he said was the best spot. He could see a small garden and some trees.
The nurses were very kind and efficient. They checked on him regularly and explained everything patiently. One nurse brought him extra pillows without being asked.
My grandfather was cheerful despite everything. He joked with the other patients and the nurses. He said the food was not as bad as people claim.
When we left on the second day, he held my hand and said not to worry. He was absolutely right. He came home looking well and was almost immediately asking about when he could start walking again.
