It sounds like you're doing great, ladycaissa! If you're looking for something to listen to on the radio, I've found PBS is actually easy to listen to because of the type of programs they have - more talking, less, uh, screaming and cavorting as you might find on a typical "morning show" - oi!
Don't get frustrated even if you don't keep that pace of improvement up at some point - it happens, and there will come a day you don't have to think about it anymore (except for annoyance at the battery beeps!) - look forward to that!
