I was going to have a D&C to get a biopsy to confirm cancer or no cancer diagnosis. The night before I was so scared. My body was full of blood clots, so this was very risky. I was scared all night. Allison came into my room at 4 am and sat with me for at least 10 minutes. She showed me her wedding dress, as she is getting married, and distracted me beautifully with a few photos. Allison knows I love heart shaped rocks; as my husband found one and I had one on my tray. She talked me to sleep so I got 1-hour rest before my D&C. When I opened my eyes from rest I saw that she had printed out a picture of a heart shaped rock in a puddle. Allison wrote "Positive vibes -Allison". I will frame her picture (she posted it on the dry erase board). My biopsy came back negative! The power of positive vibes. I will never forget her!
