Good job, Dave. Sounds like you are doing things right. I know that the pace of improvement can seem glacial at times, and that our patience can seem like we are totally cool with things the way they are, but patience is a good thing to an LD person. I'm thinking that patience with gentle encouragement of positive steps is a better thing. Patience, gentle encouragement of positive steps, and working on your own self-image is even better.

Keep the faith.
