That question goes as far back as Acher, or further.

But he is not benching as a choleh, so that is irrelevant.  If a choleh
is not yet completely healed, then the miracle for which he's thanking
Hashem hasn't fully happened yet, so he can't bench.  But in this case
the miracle for which he's thanking Hashem has already happened; he
could have died and he didn't, and is no longer in any danger of dying
from that accident.  So it seems to me that he has to bench now.
