The Whipple surgery requires an unbelievable amount of resilience.

“Strength is what we gain from the madness we survive.” — Mary Ann Weir

The Whipple surgery feels like madness. It’s barbaric.

The recovery is lengthy and brutal. It tries to steal our energy and our confidence in ourselves. It tests every ounce of our mettle.

It’s madness, I tell ya. Those scars are proof we’ve won a massive battle. We survived it. And we are stronger for it.
