He swims into consciousness, coming as suddenly back into the world as his head breaking the surface of water. It is a tidal wave, a tsunami of pain, immense, unknowable, all-consuming, and there is a hollow, twisted spot where part of him used to be, and that is not a metaphor.
Later, he will berate her for this decision that was not hers to make, curse a God he does not believe in, damn all modern medicine in its pathetic, shoddy glory, but now he can only think: if I scream, they will make it stop, and so he screams.
