The Doctor Said Six Weeks. It's Been Four Months and I'm Still Not Me. - a story about injury recovery

Recovery isn't linear, and sitting still doesn't mean you're losing — sometimes the body's hardest work happens when nothing visible is changing. What you survive shapes what you become, even when it doesn't look like progress yet.

“Iron, when heated in the flames and pounded, becomes a fine sword.”

- Nichiren Daishonin, 'Letter to the Brothers,' WND-1, p. 501
