There was a particular woman nurse who took extremely good care of me in the recovery room but I can’t remember her name. She was so sweet! She helped me when I was suffering from extreme nausea from the anesthesia. So patient and compassionate! I wish I knew who she was so I could thank her personally. She really was amazing. Thank you Honey!
