Time.
Scientifically, it doesn’t change. But it seems so variable, as in how can my sons be married, thriving adults, when there were interminable minutes when they were children? A year ago yesterday I became paralyzed several hours after surgery to fuse my cervical spine. I underwent a second surgery to drain a large hematoma that
was pressing on my spinal cord. The anticipated three-to-five day hospital stay stretched to twenty-three days. Neither those days nor the year since passed comically fast or quicksand slowly. They weren't gone in a flash or interminably everlasting. It was a bumpy lumpy trail whose signposts I didn’t even recognize, let alone know how to interpret.
