There was definitely stress. There were lot things going on, I was trying to keep up with my classes from the hospital. I was trying to do therapy every day, obviously in the hospital. Still see my friends and my family. It was a lot of things to juggle, and I think that, especially when I went back to school at first, I hid that stress fairly well in classes and around my friends. I think where it came out most was probably at home and with my family. And, I think that, probably similar to a lot of other people, I think that that stress shows most in the people that are the closest to you. And I think, luckily, they were really understanding about that, being patient with me.
