Despite having two heart procedures in one week, Gloria Ring is counting her blessings.
We took our microphone to the bedside of the 76-year-old Northmead resident for a special podcast episode to capture the reality of a hospital stay — complete with a few interruptions from a cleaner hard at work in the bathroom!
Gloria talks about what brought her into hospital, praises the care she's received from the "wonderful" staff and even compliments the "beautiful" food.
She also reminisces on raising four boys in Seven Hills, and as we look forward to Valentine's Day, shares a few tips from 50+ years of marriage.
