Long Term Hospital Stay
I seem to recall a long term stay at this hospital (approx 11 months) in 1976-77. I suffered from asthma but I am not sure why I had to stay for that period of time.
I was also on the Florence Gibson Ward and remember a boat and a steam roller in bright colours (I think).
I always had to blow into a machine is a room to test my breathing.
I also seem to remember watching a Liverpool v Borussia Monchengladbach match in the TV room at the end of the ward.
There was a boy who I used to play with and I remember him jumping over one of the beds and dislocating his shoulder and I am sure it was my fault.
Does anyone remember this period of time?

I know or knew this ward. Can you recall any other wards, or names of any staff? Did you know Mr Ralf? He was my teacher when I was there.

RE: RE: Long Term Hospital Stay
This must have been some kind of experimental hospital. I spent two and a half years in there for a 'clicking hip'. I was discharged in 1961 aged five. I've read that Ringo Starr spent two years at the hospital for pleurisy during his childhood. I went onto Colomendy to adjust.
