There was a recovery period, not many meds after the first few weeks (and pretty much just extra strength Tylenol for the pain/discomfort), and some rehab. Then it was done. A scar remains and that's all that's left of the event.
No deep affirmation or appreciation or new awareness. No triumph. No new life. Just more of the same life that went on before, despite the popular cultural narratives in North America about going through potentially life threatening or challenging times.
Be well.
