Absolutely amazing feat of medicine, even more astounding is the team of 140 working on the patient over a period of 21 hours. Recovery is a scary and awesome thing. When I broke my leg and had surgery I was told it was a 50/50 chance of getting nerve damage and loss of sensation to my foot. After many months of "pins and needles" and random pains, I was blessed to have full sensation restored. I used to imagine in my head the neurons in my leg and ankle talking with each other and saying, "Hey buddy you're supposed to synapse with me, not that other guy over there". What the future will hold, is more exciting.
