Libby - can we all borrow you as a friend? you are such a sweetie!
first order of business with your friend: Listen, listen, listen.
when she gets 'that look' on her face and says she has to go to the bathroom, just let her go - even if you're in mid-sentence and it's awkward.
when she's visiting you, especially at the beginning, let her decide what to eat. for the first several weeks, i took my own food when i went out. of course, i pretty much just went to my sister's but still - it was much easier on all of us if i brought my own.
other than that, just cheer her on!
let us know how she's doing - maybe she could stop by here and update us!
