She washed my hair and put it in a braid, so I felt human again.
I am 38 years old and was hospitalized for a leg amputation. To say my heart was devastated doesn’t cover it. From the moment Libby came in, she acted not just as my nurse but as a friend. She held my hand while I cried, and listened when I needed to talk. She was everything I needed. She washed my hair and put it in a braid, so I felt human again. It is fair to say in the last two months my heart has suffered. Libby’s bright, happy demeanor helped me so much. And the care she took of me was absolutely immaculate!
