 Hi Roanna,

First of all, congratulations on this new endeavor! I know you'll 
do great in this new chapter in your life.

Second, what do you mean by going back to old habits? WHEN I did 
my training two years ago, I also attended a censer that was i an 
hour from my house.  I took advantage of this by going home every 
weekend.  Of course was partly due to the fact that my mother had 
to drive me to my piano lessons, which were also an hour away, 
but still, it was nice to spend time with my family during the 
weekends while attending training during the week.  If you're 
really worried, I would try and practice the skills you're 
learning while you're at home for the weekend.  In my case, for 
by stance, I actually attended a center for people who are blind 
and hard of hearing.  While I was there, I learned how to change 
the batteries in my bearing aids, which I never knew how to do 
before.  Every Sunday night, just before my mother would 
accompany me back to the center, she'd have me practice doing 
this on our kitchen table.  I'm not sure what you're going to 
learn, but if, say, you're going to cook, clean, and do laundry, 
I would suggest you have your parents have you practice those 
skills.  Going home for the weekend is really a great thing, 
because it allows you to spend a couple of days the your family 
and sakes the overwhelming pressure of your training off during 
that time.

I hope this helps.

Sami

Today I received an email from my Rehab counselor.  She is 
beginning the process for me to receive services from the Rehab 
Center.
