That's really an inspired story. As an artist I understand how the expression of yourself in made whole and complete when put into terms of paint, pencil, canvas, and paper. I believe the goodness of the arts is to give us humans a cathartic tool, a metaphor, to express those things which need to emerge. He commented on your detail; and to me, that reflects the detail of Mayo Clinic. Integration of aspects of healing and art brought both you and the Drs skills to a level of excellent. Nothing less could have completed the surgery and recovery it seems to me.
