It sounds like you handled this very well. Just remember (and in the back of my head, a little voice says "pot, calling kettle") NO EXPECTATIONS. NONE.

Wanting more IS EXPECTATIONS, and it's something I, too, struggle with. And it will sap your strentgh and make you nuts. B/c this process is going to take a while. I am not saying it is wrong or unexpected to want more.
So, I'm not criticizing you. I'm just identifying something that can create problems for you that is something with which I also battle.
It was Puppy who said yesterday "Slow and steady wins the race."
You are doing great, just keep it slow. Think marathon, not sprint.
