2quilt - that sounds entirely appropriate! I'm not familiar with the shake but anything chocolate sounds about right!
I'm still sort of in the recovery phase. This has been a really grueling process and it's been pretty hard to keep the anxiety in particular under control. I wish I could say I had everything under control through the process- I did a lot of the time- but certainly not all (medication was definitely a necessity). But I did do it. In total 12 hours of exams, including an oral, and I did it. No one knew about my diagnosis, and I did this all on the same schedule and standard they expected of everyone. There will be other challenges, but nothing quite like this.
