Pamela, sorry that I am late here but (long story) my ADSL/Wifi router died and it took some time to get a new one.
It sounds to me that you and DB have a fair bit to cope with recently though your Valentines Day meal sounds great

.
I hope that the investigations of your spine problems have helped.
As far as DB is concerned 418 days is tremendous

.
I trust that whatever his GP has noticed gets resolved quickly.

for both you and DB.
