Sounds like your OS is a real people person and makes sure his

patients are well taken care of. Pets are wonderful aren't they?

They provide so much comfort and joy. Sounds like you have a

wonderful fiance as well. Hope you neck is better. I am sure

sleeping in your own bed will help. I am going to sleep in mine for

the first night since after surgery tonight.
