Don't hate the changes you've made! They are good (although I liked the previous version, too). With every change you make, you're exploring a new path, and in the end I'm sure you'll end up liking one version better than the others and finally believe that will be the one that's fit for publication.

(And I'm doing a bit better, thank you. It will take some time before I'm 100% ok, but I'm coping. Thanks for asking.)
