With her help and guidance, I was doing things for my wife that I never knew that I could.
Linda was my wife’s hospice nurse for 4 1/2 years. In this capacity, she would stop by once or twice each week to check on my wife. In the last 1 1/2 years, my wife has experienced skin breakdown issues, resulting in severe skin sores. Her expertise and knowledge in treating these sores were excellent, and she kept them manageable. She instructed me on how to care for these. With her help and guidance, I was doing things for my wife that I never knew that I could. The various doctors would repeatedly tell me that I was taking excellent care of my wife. Without a doubt, I could not have done this without Linda, including her knowledge, expertise, and caring. I felt so fortunate to have Linda as my wife’s hospice nurse. I will forever be grateful for her.
