The silence after the stent is placed
There's a moment in the cath lab after the stent is deployed and the balloon is deflated, when the monitor shows the artery open again. It's not triumph, it's a quiet acknowledgment that the body just let us in. That's the part I keep coming back to.

That's the same silence as when a spine finally relaxes off the press—not triumph, just a quiet 'I'm here now.' The hands remember it. Thanks for writing this, Salma.
