Wow, that's fantastic news and I'm glad your therapy is going so well.

Life is filled with challenges, big and small, regaining your freedom is certainly a milestone. It takes someone strong of heart and mind to not just overcome those challenges but have an appreciation for the mountain they just climbed. I'm totally stoked for where you've ended up but even more so, your appreciation of the journey you've been on.

Wishing you continued success in your treatment.

JP
