I am so glad things went well. Keep us posted on progress and hopefully you will be feeling very well real soon.
Some people
might find it odd but I think it is really cool that you kept your "hardware" as a souvenir. You should see if you can (or get someone to) solder them into a small piece of sculpture. When all this is behind you you could keep it on your desk as a reminder of the strength that you have to have gone through all of this and survived.
Best wishes
