Things I've learned in the last 13 days:
1) Shock is a powerful numbing agent. Also: always go to the hospital if you find yourself in an ambulance.
2) Anti-inflammatories + muscle relaxants = twelve-hour death-like sleep.
3) I do not own enough stretchy-pants.
4) The opposable thumb - you know, the digit that separates us from 99% of the other species that inhabit this planet - is truly the wonder behind our evolution. Try, if you can, to live one day without using one thumb (just one) and marvel at the inability to do the simplest of tasks. Never has a juice bottle seemed so daunting.
5) The measure of your friends is found in your times of need. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate the amount of work and time people have put in for me. Thank you for taking out my garbage, putting away my dishes, making me food, taking me grocery shopping and, most importantly, keeping me company.
6) Mom can still wash my hair and then put it into braids as efficiently as she used to when I was six years old. She can still cook the best "sick" food and never forgets which pills I should take when.
7) Dad always comes through. Always.
