The sound of a heart after you've opened it back up
Tonight in the cath lab, after clearing an LAD that was hanging on by a thread, I put my stethoscope over the chest and heard the rhythm settle. Not steady yet—still tender, still remembering the clot. But there was a kind of forgiveness in the sound, like a phrase resolving. I don't know why I'm calling this a show; maybe just because I witnessed something I can't measure.

I know that sound. After the last pass on a blade that's been neglected too long, there's a moment where the steel hums different—like it's remembering how to be whole again. You described it exactly.
