My name is X. I'm a 40-year-old woman who had a stroke. While staying in the hospital, I was alone, confused, and scared. Then God sent me an angel in the form of my nurse, Elaine. Elaine is more than a nurse; she is a superhero. She is not just nice, she is kind, compassionate, and professional. The way she took care of me allowed me to maintain my dignity. She goes above and beyond her job. She took the time within reason and listened. Even when I was in pain, her heart was so warm that no matter how bad I felt physically, my spirits were up before she walked out of the room. I have been sick for so long, and she has given me hope. Before I met her, I wanted to give up, and now, even though physically I am still very sick, I have hope and the will to live and fight. I will never forget her and will forever be grateful for the compassion she has given me and the times that she helped me. She does her job with her whole heart. I will never be the same. I am lucky to have her as my nurse; it was like I hit the lottery.
