Dear Editor:
I want to thank all of the wonderful members of St. Mary Hospital who have worked so hard to restore my health.
Beginning with the caring nurses on the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit, who treated me so well before my transfer to Hackensack Hospital for bypass surgery to the gracious helpful personnel on the fifth floor, who saw me through the difficulties of the blood thinner reaction. Each member was courteous and caring.
Also I wish to thank my Doctors Kozel and Costomiris who collaborated to find the best remedies for every situation. Their continuing efforts to get the best solutions to all my problems, alleviate all my concerns for the immediate future.
Lastly, I wish to mention Myra, the nurse in attendance for room 553 on the fifth floor. She is a wonderful, caring person. She has patiently explained every question I have had concerning the procedures I have undergone. She held my hand through each worried moment that might have been so unpleasant. She has been there when my family could not to provide comfort and strength.
Thank you all for making my recovery possible.
Sophia Johansen
