Debbie K. has provided a listening ear and professional, supportive voice in responding to my concerns, questions and observations regarding my husband's recovery from open heart surgery in January.
Just recently, I spoke with her regarding an issue with my husband regarding his not driving at 6 weeks post-surgery. She was very helpful since she and I had this conversation at his 1 month post-op visit. At that time, she encouraged me to contact his cardiothoracic surgeon and cardiologist to express my concerns. I did and the doctor's concurred to wait another month until he resumed driving.
Debbie K. made me feel valued and like my husband's situation was the most important consideration. My husband ending up with a good heart was her #1 goal!
