So glad that you are feeling better and back to being able to do the things that you enjoy
It does sound like the birthday was a positive for your interaction with W, and you had your expectations low. Your gift was very thoughtful as well. I can't remember the last time that I got something as thoughtful. Those are things that OM cannot do for her that you can.
Enjoy the flying and riding!
