A tracheostomy is not a permanent thing.
The scar, well. That is permanent. But, your left arm, shoulders and back kinda beat this little circular scar you'll have all to heck.
And they have milestones for you to hit. (Which might piss you off a bit. I don't think you've ever been on a "performance plan" before.) Right now you're given pressure control assistance on the ventilator. As the pneumonia clears and your lungs strengthen, though, you will be given less and less assistance. And finally, no trach.
And this could happen over the course of a few or several weeks, but it's going to happen.
