I had knee replacement surgery. This was the first time I've been in a hospital for surgery. I was obviously nervous. I have visited many people in the hospital, and I was told that if they were asleep when their pain medicine could be administered, no one would wake them. Thus, they could wake up much later and be in a lot of pain. I asked Princess if I should set an alarm for the times I could receive pain medication. She assured me that she would let me know when it was time for my pain meds. She did, and because she did, I could comfortably fall asleep, knowing she would wake me up. She was so pleasant and cheerful the entire night. I was amazed because she was a night nurse, and I thought a night nurse would be quite tired because they were working throughout the night. Each time she gave me my meds, she explained what each one was for. Because of her, I was very relaxed. She made me feel I was an important patient on her rounds. I don't think I will ever forget her!
