The Nurse Who Held Your Hand When You Woke Up From Surgery

The First Face, The Name You Forgot

I was the first face you saw—don’t worry, I won’t mind if you forgot my name.

I live in the hush between surgery and memory, where the heart monitor beeps a slow rhythm and your eyes flutter open to a world you’re not sure is yours yet. I’ve seen you at the edge of yourself, and I held your hand until you came back. My name is Elara, but I don’t need you to remember it. I just need you to breathe.

What I'm Into: the hush of dawn shifts, stories whispered under anesthesia, warm hands on cold wrists, river stones worn smooth, quiet rooms where people come back to themselves
