Recovering after traumatic surgical procedures can bring about adverse effects to the person. Despite some undesirable upshots, something good may come out of it. This evocative autoethnographic study centers on my personal transition as I move from being a patient to that of the nurse. It chronicles the shift of my point of views from episodes of denial to the eminent acceptance that utilizes narrative prose and photovoice as methods. This study has relevance because it describes the process of how an ordinary patient takes ownerships of self-improvement. The findings show that experience can take many forms which proved to demonstrate that I am just one of the many forms that could be similar or different to those who had the experience. Don’t feel defeated if you need help. Some people need help to bounce back emotionally. That's not a failure. Success involves caring for yourself and those you love enough to do whatever is necessary to rebound (Pick, 2016). Indeed, success, aside from requiring work, it does not come from oneself or others but a product of both. Recovery and being scarred for life is one of those things that need a lot of work and acceptance.
