Ugh, that's almost as bad as watching the surgery channel. Good luck with everything. Hope you get it back real soon.

i think seeing them tear off the broken parts would probably be even worse.

How much was the damage on the car? Something like that looks to me like it should have been totaled.

Actually, that's exactly how it's built at the factory.... Although the original factory weld is probaby stronger than the bodyshop due to metal fatigue, I doubt it's enough that you could even measure. The difference will come when you determine if there are other things tweaked and if the shop did a good job.
