fistf, glad to hear you're doing better. Give yourself some credit. Recovery is _you_ and your body. I've known people to sit and wait for magic and they end up potatoes. A good friend had a stroke in his early 30's and had to work like crazy to re-gain control and function. It's certainly taught him to monitor his fitness.
It's good you already know to take charge of your healthcare. There are gems in the business but treat them like bonuses. Handing your care over to the system and its average result is inviting a result you do not want.
Guess I'm saying to keep it up. Break a (doctor's) leg and all that.
