I was admitted to Al Khor Hospital for an operation which included a very challenging recovery period. Immediately following my operation, I wasn't allowed food or water until the doctor assessed me. When he did finally give me the ok to take sips of water or tea, I wasn't physically able. Noble stayed with me, helping me to take those first sips and when I was allowed to finally take food, she helped me to eat, until I could do so on my own.
I couldn't tolerate walking to the bathroom due to the pain so Noble helped me with a bedpan. Embarrassingly, the sheets needed to be changed, but that didn't bother her, with a smile on her face, she changed my sheets and arranged my bed, without any complaint.
Noble continually demonstrated kindness and love to me. She provided emotional support to my children, who were very worried about me and my surgery. She told them, "don't worry, your mother is ok and she will get better very soon" and she gave them pieces of chocolate to reassure them. My children appreciated her, and they told me that she is the best nurse in the hospital.
I want to thank Noble from the bottom of my heart, because, she is just fabulous.
