What realization? Listen the first few months you’re gonna be sore and recovering, none of the magical “it’s over” stuff is gonna click until you realize you’re just living your life now and this is what normal is for you
The realization that I actually got surgery. Most of my life the idea this would happen was just a dream. It was financially out of reach and I really didn't know how to abtained the letters I needed. It was not until the beginning of this year that everything just came together and I was able to figure everything out.
Ok yeah that one hit me around the 1-3 weeks in.
