#if the arrow somehow stabbed his diaphragm HOW did it dodge that far. how much can it move

Brb I'm overthinking the placement of injuries in the Riordanverse

#it started with me thinking about tbm and then about my exams #and somehow it all went down the road of 'how the fuck did lester survive stabbing himself' #like okay. he was going to stab his heart. he missed. okay #what DID he stab #because like. the heart is placed right in the middle of the lungs #above it there's a bunch of veins and arteries and the aortic arch and whatnot #below there's the diaphragm #did he puncture a lung? or stab those very important parts above the heart? #reasonably he could've punctured a lung given how he talked about his lungs filling with hot sand or whatever #but then how did medea's little vial of unidentified medicine fix it #and how did the dryad heal him after removing the clot #if the arrow somehow stabbed his diaphragm HOW did it dodge that far. how much can it move #HOW DOES IT WORKKK #lonely thoughts
