It is so encouraging to hear how well someone is doing and so inspiring and so important to recovery not just for the patient but for us caregivers, too. We all learn from each others' experiences and this helps us in turn to be encouraging for someone else. Sometimes, even though we try to choose just the right words, it can happen that the message sent is not always the message received - since we don't have the benefit of personal contact and body language to help us share or interpret our feelings. I'm so glad that Steve is doing so well. If you do need a break, I'm hoping it is a short one and that we see you back to let us know how you are both doing.
