Hi Sami
Yes you are right Cornwall has to be one of the best places in the UK.
I was also treated at Derriford for my SAH and the nursing staff looked after me well and were very caring.
We used to have a lovely dog like yours, she was called "SKY" but we had to have her put to sleep in August of last year four months after my SAH which did not help matters!
All the best for now.
Tim
