Much appreaciated! Things are going well I suppose. Possible that I just had set the bar too high. I have days where everyhting feels great and I hold myself back, but there are still days that are a total bust. All part of the process I suppose.

i have found that a positive outlook, and looking forward to total recovery keeps me going bro.
