Good. The next time my hubby comments on the positions I sleep in,

I'll let him know I'm not the only one! As for the wrist splint,

I've had to wear one at night the past few weeks because I pulled a

tendon in my wrist taking out the kitchen trash (only us EDSers!),

and I find I sleep really poorly when it is on. I keep waking up

because I can't reposition my body in my sleep when I have it on. Oh

well.
