First 10 Minutes:
“Wow, this is incredible.”
Anatomy making sense for the first time ever.
Next 30 Minutes:
Focus level 100
Legs slightly numb
Still pretending you’re fine
After 1 Hour:
Spine? Gone.
Legs? Shaking.
Soul? Floating above the OT table
Final Thoughts:
“This is amazing… but I may never walk again.”
OT Life = Inspiration for the brain, punishment for the legs.
And yet, we’ll show up again tomorrow because watching surgery feels like witnessing real-life magic.
