After my knee surgery, I was in extreme pain and my blood pressure hiked up, I was miserable. Mary worked with me, listening to my concerns and needs. I was with Mary for almost 7 hours as medications, knee placements, knee braces were tried, the Orthopedic PA was sent for, etc. She listened to what I needed and tried very hard to accommodate my needs. At 9 pm, she suggested I be admitted to the hospital overnight. It was the best decision. My breathing/oxygen was monitored and pain meds given regularly through the night. This morning is more comfortable, and the pain seems tolerable. Thank you, Mary, for your TLC. I commend you for your nursing talents and care!
