Yeah, the Army tends to put a bright smiley face on the recovery and side-effect aspects of all medical stuff. They don't want to put any negative ideas in anyone's head that aren't already there. The docs' job is to get her ready to deploy before winter. That's the cold, hard reality of being a military asset. It's not "take all the time you need, relax, we just want you to be comfortable and get well." It's "patch 'em up and ship them back to the front" kind of stuff, but with a very high standard for "patching them up."
