So when there is a pothole in front of your driveway, you’re going out and filling it in yourself, right? Because why waste the city’s valuable time when you could do it yourself?
I have pretty much the exact same experience, but mine was 30 years ago. If I do something extreme I can still get a partial collapse, but they always heal and aren’t too bad. The surgery is, honestly, the worst thing ive ever experienced (this includes later cancer surgeries) but was worth it in the end.
