Christy took extra special care to check on how I was feeling and to see if there was anything extra I needed. She checked in one time just to say her shift was just ending so she wanted to make sure that there was nothing I needed before she left. I said, "Not unless you have some blank sudoku sheets." She left and came back with a few sheets of blank paper and a packet that had a ruler printed on the side. She said, "This will let you make some." She then later told my husband to bring me some. That's what I call going above and beyond to make sure a person's mental needs are being cared for. It went a great deal towards making my stay a little bit more bearable.
