Hi Cab, glad to see you back, it sounds like you have done pretty well. A facial neuroma and no facial issues after surgery must be a good thing. The steroids will give you weird dreams and keep you from sleeping well, but that should end soon. I can't help you with the pillow arrangement issue, you'll have to look to other posts for that.  :D

Now you just need a long nap, until the daffodils are blooming and the tulips are well under way...

And by the way, Lori, who is that pretty young girl in the picture you posted?  ;)

Right side is weak too. Life is quiet.

You know, I've been meaning to tell Lori how much I like the new picture.

Very nice  ;D

Aw, thanks you guys!  I still think my dog is cuter, but I thought you might be tired of looking at her.

I have daffodils coming up too!  This is nuts!  And, I punched my husband in the head the night I had my BAHA implant done - I had taken a Lortab before bed and was having a dream I was being attacked by a bear!  Apparently, he was the bear.  Oh well, you always hurt the ones you love!
