I had a procedure done at Gettysburg Hospital and stayed for post-surgical observation (overnight). Kaitlyn was calm and soothing as she settled me into my room. The procedure I had done was to repair damage that occurred years ago. For the past two years, I have experienced conditions that were mortifying. I could not go anywhere or do anything without fear of accidents. both fecal and urine. I usually had only a minute or two warning before "all hell broke loose". I became tense, fearful, anxious, depressed and angry. I lived in a state of shame and in a private prison of my own making. I was a mess!

I said that Kaitlyn settled me into my room because it was during my time with her that the anesthesia fog dissipated. The time I spent with Kaitlyn was the most pleasant time I have experienced while in the hospital and I have been hospitalized many times. Kaitlyn's care made me feel terrific, even as I was bleeding and catheterized and looking like hell. She was sure to keep my pain under control and there was nothing I could ask that she wouldn't do. Aside from my body she started the healing of my soul. She certainly meets the old and honored label. "Angel of Mercy".
