Nurse Irene
Years ago when I went into the hospital to give birth to my first and only child, I was blessed with not only a great physician, but an absolutely wonderful nurse. She was the most precious lady, with a very gentle and loving spirit. It was very evident that she loved her job and that she loved people.
After my baby was born, I had what some would refer to as “spinal headaches”. The medical staff that attended to me prior to me having my C-section, did not inform me that I was supposed to lay flat for several hours after having an epidural, to avoid severe headaches. As a result I suffered for days with the worst headaches. I am telling you that these headaches were absolutely excruciating!
Because my headaches were so severe, I was not dismissed from the hospital for five to six days after my baby was born. I guess the doctor knew that I couldn’t possibly take care of my new little baby, when I was in so much discomfort.
