She held my hand every time and spread positive words in my soul. She was smiling as she wiped the traces of blood off me and raised my body to move.
I had a car accident, and I was in a complex health condition. I spent some days in intensive care, and when my condition improved, I was transferred to the inpatient department. In the morning, the nurses did not inspire hope, and I was very tired, as I had to undergo additional surgery the next day. When I came out of the surgery, my nurse, Elza, was very friendly. She held my hand every time and spread positive words in my soul. She was smiling as she wiped the traces of blood off me and raised my body to move. She asked me if I needed to wash my body and shower, and she brought me into the bathroom herself. She was friendly and tried her best to keep me safe. Elza lifted my spirits and smiled every time she saw me. She was also keen to support me psychologically and communicate with my children in a way. It's good when they call to ask about me. They thought I was in the princess' palace, and she made them understand that she was Princess Elsa coming out of the cartoon stories to take care of their mother. Soon they started learning about her, asking about her, and leaving lollipops for her as gifts. She is a true DAISY Nurse.
