I was having a lot of abdominal pain, my blood pressure was high, and my anxiety was through the roof. My most recent stays were very serious. I almost lost my life and was afraid it was happening again. This time, however, I also have a colostomy. I'm only 45. Thia went out of her way to make me comfortable. Not just with pain meds, but in my mind as well. I was almost paralyzed with fear and in a matter of minutes, she had me feeling much better. She didn't have to put in the extra time with me, no one asked her to, I think she's just such a nice person it came naturally to her. Thia is an awesome nurse.
