I spent too much time in hospitals from the time I was ?12 when my mom had to go to the hospital (she got severe asthma when I was 5 1/2 in '58, some other stuff later on) off and on. 😧

Then later on my mom got much better with the asthma, but some years later my dad had troubles. ☹️

So glad that they had caring nurses and other medical staff, good doctors.

My sis has a long time ❤️ nurse friend.
