Wow this is a great post. I hope that you will recover soon and that your pain will dissapear. My brother also got a surgery (on both of his knees). Due to this he wasn't able to walk good for a long time that i forgot the duration. But he gladly recovered now and also has screws and a metal plate that was inside of him. It is so true that we mostly forget how valuable time and health are. And difficult moments like this teaches us valuable lessons. We all know how valuable time and health are, but i think when you experience something like that you really feel how valuable it really is. Thank you for sharing this and making me reflect on these unpayable gifts :)
