Iba encomendada a Dios pero si un poco ansiosa ya q nunca había estado bajo anestesia, pero al llegar y ver q otros pacientes antes q yo salían tranquilos y sonrientes me fui relajando, aunq la presión pues también iba alta, pero al ver la mirada tan amorosa y el trato de las enfermeras y doctores me fui relajando, de pronto me anestesiaron y cuando desperté ya había pasado todo. Me dormí y no sentí, ellos me dieron seguridad q Dios y sus ángeles estaban allí. Y me dormí y desperté con mucha paz. Gracias a Dios ya todo pasó y no tengo q volver hasta en 20 años primero Dios. Fue menos traumático de lo q pensé. Bendito sea Dios q aún hay personas q aman lo w hacen y lo transmiten a sus pacientes como en este caso. Gracias infinitas a Dios de quién viene todo.
