I have been steadily declining in health and was admitted to 1 South on May 14th. It is now May 20th and I have been in contact with Ling every day since and when I felt most dejected. Ling raised my spirits every day.

I am normally very outgoing but I was not when I entered 1 South until Ling cheered me up and made me laugh again and I found my cheerful personality was in force again. She has a trait – that of reaching out and patting me or laughing with a light touch – very reassuring and actually inspiring. This, of course, is in addition to stellar nursing skills. I am very fortunate to have her in my corner.
