Thank you Sally and Snoopy,
I have missed communicating with you too, Sally. I hope you are faring well. Thank you for your good wishes also, Snoopy. I feel a tad better today. We went and bought ourselves a "Select Comfort" bed yesterday as a Christmas gift to one another. My husband had slept on one in a hotel for business recently and was raving about how comfortable it was.

I must say that last night was one of the best nights of sleep I have had in years and years (it was delivered yesterday). Even on the Solu Medrol, I almost slept through the night. My family was here for a bit over Thanksgiving, and my Mum was wonderful to me. We've got meals and meals frozen in the freezer to eat for weeks.

We shall be spending the holiday with my husband's family here, and I've almost completed all of the shopping for his family and have mailed all of the packages abroad to mine. I am looking forward to a 4 day weekend off from work for Christmas and then again for New Years.

Thank you again for your concern and kind words.

Best wishes to you and yours during this lovely holiday season,

Chris
