[QUOTE="pgillingham@sky.com, post: 811912, member: 38201"] Hi Sister Laffy It has taken so long to hear from ex staff of Palingswick House. I have to say that it is only when you have left there that you realise how much being there did to help one first accept diabetes and then control it. I left in June 1967 and went to work as an apprentice at Shepperton Studios. Do you remember Mr Evans the vicar at St Peter's Church? In 1972 I married Lynne and he came over from Chiswick to Bexleyhesth to marry us. It has lasted too and we celebrate our 43rd anniversary in November. I do a lot ov voluntary work now for Diabetes UK and also have advice and help stands at our local hospitals and health centre to give something back. I have been on a pump for the last 15 months and would never go back on MDI. I still love my football and music especially Leyton Orient and The Hollies. Sadly not all friends from PH are still with us but I for one have no intention of popping my clogs yet. I keep in touch with Kevin Baum from back then. I owe Palingswick House my life as I would probably not be here now if I hadn't been there. Thank you sister for all you and the rest of the staff especially Sister Connors and Miss Wilson did for us [/QUOTE]
