"I was in horrible pain,". The doctor gave me a morphine IV drip, only to find out that I am allergic to morphine. I had an allergic reaction, and so they counteracted with some other meds. I was horrified! I had just had a major surgery, learned that I might not be able to have children in the future and had just suffered an acute drug reaction. That same night they gave me another pain med and I slept soundly for a few hours.I awoke in the middle of the night. According to the wall clock, it was 2:45. I heard someone speaking and realized someone was at my bedside. It was a young woman with short brown hair and wearing a white hospital staff uniform. She was sitting and reading aloud from the Bible. I said to her, 'Am I alright? Why are you here with me?'She stopped reading but didn't turn to look at me. She simply said, 'I was sent here to make sure you'd be alright. You are going to be fine. Now you should get some rest and go back to sleep.' She began to read again and I drifted off back to sleep. The next day, I was having my checkup with my doctor and I explained to him what happened during the night before. He looked puzzled and checked my post-surgery reports and notes. He told me that no nurses or doctors were stationed to sit with me the night before. I questioned all of the nurses who cared for me; each said the same, that no nurses or doctors had visited my room that night for anything except to check my vitals. To this day, I believe that I was visited by my guardian angel that night. She was sent to comfort me and assure me that I would be okay. Coincidentally, the time on the clock that night, 2:45 a.m., is the exact time recorded on my birth certificate that I was born!"
