The books say surgery within forty-eight hours saves lives, and that one-year mortality is high for us elders. But I say, what is a life saved if it is a life trapped? They operated quickly, khub bhalo, but here I am, a year later, still bedbound. The recovery timeline they promised was walking with a frame in months, but my real timeline became this mattress, watching my daughter's debates only through that cracked screen. Sometimes, the swift cure brings the longer prison.
