"My Recovery from Heart Surgery"

About: Mazankowski Alberta Heart Institute

(as the patient),

I had a triple bypass surgery 2 years ago, I ended up with an infection in my incision, had to have a wound vac on to get the infection out. Amongst that time while I was at the Mazankowski, I had some of the best nurses. Although I had to switch rooms a few times, they were there to take care of me.

I had a bit of an upset the one day and my wonderful nurse told me to go sit in the garden area and she’d get it sorted out with the staff. At that time I wanted to just check myself out but knew I couldn’t. She went above and beyond to comfort me as I wept.

I will never forget her as long as I live. I called her my angel. All the nurses who  took care of me were all angels. To the Nursing staff at 4 F and surrounding. You all have earned your wings!!!
