[QUOTE="HereWeGoAgain, post: 31686, member: 3485"] <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: KFld</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Glad to hear court went well. How is the rehab going so far. Does she seem to be following the rules and ready to make some changes, or is it too soon to tell? </div></div>Good questions. It is a bit early to tell; there are good signs and worrisome signs. On the up side, her basic attitude is good: she is not blaming others for putting her in there and has a positive outlook about working the program. On the worrisome side, she's chafed at some of the rules, called them stupid and pointless -- but then she catches herself and acknowledges (without prompting) that they have the right to make the rules and "that's the way it is and I have to accept it". Most worrisome is that she's too manic -- witness the attacks of nerves yesterday, sitting on the edge of her seat and constantly fidgeting, talking a mile a minute.
