Sorry I've been absent from your thread when you've been checking on me!!
I'm so glad that things are looking positive for you. It's odd how we feel like we have to, as you put it, tread carefully, or get our hopes up when things look better. Your W will see your being at ease with her going out and that will help.
Take care. Here's to better days ahead!!
