Your story of your 5 y/o wanting to learn to read so he could read to you is ADORABLE! Thanks for sharing!! It really warmed my heart!!

I'm glad you have so much support in your life.

In reference to the laundry conversation with the septic guy - when you get frustrated with yourself/what you're capable of/your limitations - try to remember that if you were dealing with someone who had a brain injury and you were perfectly normal that you would give that person a lot of patience and compassion - so try to give yourself the same compassion and patience that you would extend to others. Make sense? (This is something I have to constantly remind myself of... I am hard on myself and it was recently pointed out to me that I am unforgiving of myself that it's taking me so long to get better even though I have no control over it.)
