She allowed me to have my dignity
C diff had a pretty good hold on me for three weeks, and for the first two weeks, no one gave me assistance when it came to cleaning myself. This 3rd stay was different. Natasha was so kind and compassionate when I told her I was lying in my own poop and immediately went into action. In addition, I had bedsores and a raw bottom. She started cleaning, rotating, and applying butt paste every two hours. She allowed me to have my dignity and made sure I was clean and comfortable all night long. I finally had a good night's sleep. Her kindness, compassion, and empathy for my situation really made a difference.
