Her unwavering support, patience, and attentive nature made a lasting impact on my well-being, making her an exceptional caregiver. Throughout my hospitalization, Sister Eleanor played a pivotal role in my recovery by providing not only physical care but also emotional support. One aspect that stood out was her unwavering encouragement for me to eat, even when I was reliant on a nasogastric (NG) tube for nutrition. Instead of viewing the NG tube as a hindrance, Sister Eleanor saw it as an opportunity for me to regain strength and nourishment. Her constant motivation and positive reinforcement were instrumental in my willingness to try to eat and regain my appetite. Throughout my hospitalization, Sister Eleanor's patience was truly remarkable. Despite her demanding workload and numerous patients to attend to, she always made me feel important and valued.

What sets Sister Eleanor apart is her genuine care for her patients. Despite the demands of her role, she consistently made us feel seen and heard. Her compassionate approach to care went beyond the physical aspects; she recognized the importance of addressing the emotional and psychological well-being of her patients. Sister Eleanor's empathetic nature created a safe space for me to express my fears and frustrations, providing comfort and solace during a challenging time. 

Moreover, Sister Eleanor's extensive experience and knowledge in her field were evident in her clinical expertise. She demonstrated a deep understanding of the complexities of my condition and the intricacies of my treatment plan. Her proficiency in managing my care instilled confidence and trust, allowing me to focus on my recovery without worrying about the details.
