July 17th. I was on American airlines. I all of a sudden got really sick. I had no idea what was going on with me at the time. They called for a doctor to assist 3 out of 4 said I was fine just raise my legs up. Hour-in-half later, according to the doctor my pulse was thread, and I was really pale. This doctor that was trying to help me by asking questions, realized my bladder was obstructed. He asked for this nurse to help me. She showed up introduced herself and both flight attendants were excited saying " oh we have a sharp nurse on board". They were reassuring me. She did tell me she loved her job. That "Sharp" have the best nurses. He did not giver her too many options, she needed to catherize me. After searching through the first aid kit they found one. She was so excited, she yelled out " I found it! She held my hand told me everything she was going to do. She did let me know when was not an expert at this but she will do her best. After she catherized me the doctor was behind the curtain talking the whole time, he looked at the bag, the bag was over flowed of urine. I had more than eleven hundred cc of urine in me. The doctor said she saved my life. I would have arrived without a breath.

She stayed talking, comforting me, she was truly concerned for me. She told me to make sure to get checked out because it was not normal. Everyone was trying to thank her. She was very shy. She did not want any recognition. She simply stated I am just doing my job. She did not give the airlines an address to send a reward or nothing. When we arrived, one of the attendants told me there were two nurses seating in first class and one more next to me. No one stood up to help. It was only the doctor and this wonderful nurse.

She was my angel in the sky. A simple thank you is so small
