As somebody who is now working in the mind care industry and therefore the holistic health industry and doing so do in no small part due to having had strokes/hemiplegic migraine. The Nurses care and consideration and yes respect that I received as a patient had a tremendous influence on my mental attitude and therefore the ultimate outcome in regard to my physical well-being. It is something that I will always be grateful for. There is one nurse in particular I am really grateful to, she knows who she is, who had the courage to not only recognize the power of the words she spoke and what it helped to spark in me, and also to also take action. She recognized that she had given me the courage to get out of my bed and start to do something, despite being paralyzed down my left side. And also the courage to hand me the tools to be able to do so. Without her I wouldn’t be where I am today and that is in a position to use my words to encourage, strengthen and help others to achieve their goals.
