    Summary

    Season 3 spoilers

    The chest wound wasn't the worst of it, really. Probably would have been if he'd been awake for it, but for the first six weeks after Billy almost died he was in a medicated haze somewhere so classified he never knew the name of the facility or the faces of any of its staff. ...

    No, the worst of it had come a few days into week seven. A nice woman with a sweet voice had come in to explain to him exactly what the extent of his injuries were. Turned out humans just weren't meant to hold a demonic force from another dimension. ... The woman used words like "cortisol" and "parasympathetic nervous system" and "pervasive joint weakness", and Billy stared at her blankly. When he finally understood what she was getting at, he squeezed the rails of his bed until his knuckles turned white.

    After the Mindflayer, Billy is left with some lasting effects. Luckily he's got some people to help him through.
