Im a firm believer that having that type of attitude really does make it easier and you will do better than someone who is angry or depressed. Keep that going and keep your family close and it will all be just a distant memory next year this time. It sounds to me like you are making excellent progress and your doctors are expecting a full recovery. Keep up the good work!!!
PS... Miss Kate is a great example of what hurdles a person can overcome and go on to thrive.
