7. I will definitely tell her you are ten years out and wishing her well. That is so kind of you.

Looking at it right from the beginning I imagine is difficult but I can see why it would be the right thing to do. I'll look at the drain and see if your description of the lanyard thing makes sense to me. I may PM you after if I need some more info. I just noticed there is a bench in her shower, so that's good news.

I definitely will look for the arm exercise videos.

SO glad to hear that the wound is not too painful. I haven't found anywhere where someone came right out and said, "It's OK" so I was wondering if that meant it was really horrible. Also good to hear the feeling will come back.

Thank you for the great advice. I really appreciate this. Between you and vylons, I'm beginning to feel less lost at the prospect of her coming home tomorrow.

Where would we be without DU, right?
