Post-D ... Now What?

My xdbf got out of the hospital a few months ago. He was in for a very long time and now is working and doing really well. We maintained minimal contact throughout his hospitalization.

Now that he is out, we are hanging out again. He seems great but I know that the D is probably lingering under the surface somewhere. I don't press him about it but listen when he wants to talk about it. My question is that when you are in remission, what does that mean? The D has disappeared? Or you can still feel and need to deal with it? I don't mean taking ADs and seeing a pdoc - he's doing all that. I want to know what it means on a day to day basis when it's supposedly under control. I'd love some insight if someone would like to share.

Thx,
Isa
