I was in the hospital to have my breast removed. This was very traumatic to me and I was in pain. I would not talk to anyone when I awoke from surgery. TeCheryl talked to me and told me that she was there to help me. She told me that the doctor had prescribed pain medication and that I should try to eat. TeCheryl talked to me until I realized that if I wanted to get well, that I would have to eat, take the medication and talk to the staff. When I woke up, I did not know if I wanted to live, but TeCheryl was so kind that she made me come out of my depression.
