Leah, your list is really good, so very specific and helpful. Thanks for giving us a window into your experience, complete with photos! Yes, a good sense of humor, lots of walking (which, you are correct, is hard at first but will become addictive in the hospital) and the dignity thing, oh yeah, help you move forward. You brought back a lot of memories for me. The only thing I can think to add to your list is to accept any and every piece of help from anyone, especially your friends and family - don't be afraid to ask. I hate asking and this was particularly hard for me but I got better at it.
