I had a very medically invasive procedure where I was supposed to get a catheter, and it was really painful despite local anesthesia. So basically the doctor was puncturing the catheter in, and I was in extreme pain, and there was this one nurse who just held my hand and she stroked my hair because she knew the kind of pain I was in.
Within that moment, I wished my mother or someone else was here to give me that support. And I immediately looked at her and I just had tears in my eyes, and forgot about the pain. Later on, after the pain subsided, the nurse came to ask me what I wanted to eat.
I wasn't able to eat with the pain, and there were very strict instructions restricting the food I could consume. I asked for chole-rice and this very beautiful nurse brought it for me.
As children we always believe that our mothers can cure us -- they just need to stroke our hands, our heads, hug us and we'll be fine. I was really happy that day despite the pain, and I did go back to the hospital, once I became much better. And I keep thinking that every Christmas I have to send a cake for this nurse.
