Receive a phone call this morning from Mary in Surrey, a 56 year old art teacher. She was in Craig-y-nos for 2 years entering the hospital as a 14 month old toddler..
She only has vague memories of the place except she does remember nurse Glenys Davies.
She says:” I am grateful to the staff for they saved my life.
Nevertheless what happened to us was traumatic and should be acknowledged.
She goes on to say:
“It is unfair to erase this part of our history. We have a right to remember it for we lost our childhood.”
Mary will write her own account of her memories of that time and the course her life took as a result of TB.
The most obvious ones she says is that streptomycin affected her hearing.
