I don't even know where to begin. first of all healing vibes for a speedy recovery. Love the picture, and how it matches the stiching on the layout. and the blood splatters, too good! I feel you, I have neck surgery about 8 years ago. good luck
I am so sorry you have gone through this, I wish a speedy recovery with zero complications.
This layout turned out beautifully! I love the mix of b&w photo with bright kit elements, and the clean "sterile" white background that you built upon.... this page is just stunning.
