Went to the nursing home at Gallen Priory last evening and met a lot of people. Alo Moran
was looking forward ro coming home to Shannonbridge today and looks great after hip job.
Rosary was on while I visited Sam Robinson from Banagher.The rosary group included
Mrs Mary Egan from Woodbank who is in good form.Tim Devery the accordeon player has
a sister there and Tim goes uin there a few times a day.Bridget Ellen Daly nee Green was
also there.She had part of her leg removed above the knee and is in great form.
In their rooms were Mairead Connolly from Ferbane who is in good form.She reads about
three or four big novels a week and enjoys it when family and friends take her to the Hodson
Bay in Athlone and go for a walk around the lake. George and Theresa Robinson have retired
to The Priory and Theresa was enjoying a cigarette in the smoking room.George got sick and
is in Portiuncula Hospital.They are happy with their decision to sell their house and land and
retire into the Priory. Geraldine Mc Manus is in great form and as bright as a pin.Came across
her in the lounge and in her room. Finally found Joe Reid in another lounge room.Joe was a
keen card player before going into The Priory and that reminded me to set off for the card game
down the road.Consider dropping in to visit some of these great people soon.
