Stephanie would simply set about her day tending to us all, checking in and opening all the silly lids I could not conquer on my own.
While I was in the care of Stephanie, she did so much for me in such small ways, I imagine it would be easy for some to say, "Well that's simply the role of a good nurse." I would be greeted every morning with breakfast, questions, check-ups, and all the other steps to wellness.

While excited about my meals, I struggled to open my array of different containers. Stephanie would simply set about her day tending to us all, checking in and opening all the silly lids I could not conquer on my own. She saw the struggles of her team and found better-fitting equipment and solutions for my comfort and my care. Fixing all these pieces without being asked displays a level of attentive awareness we should all strive to achieve. Thank you, Stephanie.
