“‘Oh just 6-8 weeks’. Right. 2 months” – 6/1/2022. While I was in the hospital, I was optimistic that my healing would be swift; I had not yet understood the severity of my injuries. I went to many doctors and specialists, who all gave me the same time estimate for the next milestone: 6-8 weeks. I grew agitated hearing that at every appointment, pushing back my full recovery date even further into the future.
