Thanks for sharing FVT, and I wish you all the best in your recovery.
Whilst by no means comparable, I had a difficult second half of last year which resulted in suffering with post concussion and depression. Although I thought I was making progress, I was continuously being told by friends and family that my personality was very different, making me question myself even more. However, through this time Saturday afternoons at the Villa with my youngest son allowed me to express happiness (infrequently), anger, frustration and despair, yet nonetheless feel normal for doing so.
Keep going and remember your Villa family will always be here for you.
