Craig-y-nos Castle, former children's TB sanatorium and home of opera diva Adelina Patti
Sully hospital
Philip Cox recalls the different punishment regimes he experienced as a child patient in both Craig-y-nos and Sully during the 1950s.
“In Craig-y-nos they tied you to the bed. In Sully if you got out of bed and you weren’t supposed to, then they took your pyjamas trousers off you. I hated that!”
He went into Craig-y-nos in 1953 as a three and a half year old and later transferred to Sully for his lung operation.
He was amazed to discover the blogs the other day while trawling through the internet.
“ I couldn’t believe my eyes. Any minute I expected to come across a photo of myself!”
Now he has sent away for a copy of the book, “The Children of Craig-y-nos” from Amazon.
Despite his poor start in life he went on to become a rugby champion in school and won numerous medals for sport including throwing the javelin.
Philip lives in Pontypool with his family.
Changed times: to-day Craig-y-nos Castle is a hotel specialising in weddings and Sully has been converted into upmarket apartments.
My husband was diagnosed with Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) four years ago. For over two years, we relied on prescription medications and therapies, but unfortunately, his symptoms continued to worsen. His memory,coordination, and overall strength declined, and everyday life became increasingly difficult.Last year, out of desperation and hope, we decided to try an herbal treatment program from NaturePath Herbal Clinic. Honestly, we were skeptical at first, but within a few months of starting the treatment, we began to notice real changes. His alertness improved, his movements became steadier, and he regained a surprising amount of energy and clarity.
ReplyDeleteIncredibly, he also regained much of his independence and confidence. It’s been a life-changing experience he feels more like himself again, better than he had in years.If you or a loved one is struggling with CJD, I truly recommend looking into their natural approach.
