I'm definitely better and i do think it was the graduated exercise program. I am hugely better and moving towards that 100% mark all the time. For now, most people would consider this 100%. I"ll feel 100% when i can do a triathlon again but yes, for all intents and purposes i'm 100% now and ready to begin slow training.

I think it was the exercise program because my biggest issue was not being able to join the physical world around me. Once I got to walking about 20 minutes in the program, i felt I could fit in with any regular activity. I'm moving on now to about 30 mins and will start increasing my heart rate soon.

does that help to answer your questions? i'll reread in a minute.
