Jodi comforted me that day and let me know that she was going to take care of me.
God gifted me with Jodi today. I had not felt well since having my port placed and had returned to the hospital to have it checked out and Jodi was my nurse. In a span of 12 days, I had a hysterectomy, learned my cyst was cancerous and that I would have to have chemo, and my precious mother had passed away. I was physically and emotionally drained from all that was going on. Jodi comforted me that day and let me know that she was going to take care of me. She explained everything to me as she accessed my port for the first time. She shared her personal experience with me. It was so calming to have someone share exactly what I had been feeling and that all the mixed emotions and fears were okay. I truly felt peace and love around Jodi. When it was time for my discharge, she gave me a hug and encouraged me. She was a blessing to me and she strengthened me as I prepared for chemo. Thank you, Jodi!
