I simply love that your silly side was not squelched by the pain. I’m so sorry you’re going through this, but it is a great story. And you survived!!

Informative flashback. Glad you included the photos -- just cuz it's so brave to do!

And illustrative! Definitely a case where a picture is worth 1000 words.
