I snipped plenty of good advice/description, all of which I agree with. My only contribution to the above would be to not color incomplete recoveries in such a dark light. They certainly aren't your first choice usually, but they aren't the end of the world and, IMO, aren't much more awkward/difficult than a complete recovery. But that's more opinion than fact.
