Hi Couch,

Been trying to catch up on reading posts, but still feel too unwell to reply much. Just sending good thoughts and hugs and comfort to all who need them. I slept almost 24 hours straight, which isn't so hard to do even when I'm not sick. Sometimes the MS has me sleeping at least 20 hours when I'm having a flare-up. So glad I have my beagle--she's 5 years old now, so enjoys sleeping quite a bit. I got up because she was making soft whimpering sounds (to gently wake me). She was hungry, so I fed her and now she's giving me longing looks and looking toward the bedroom. I told her "pretty soon", and she knows we're headed back to bed. Sometimes she makes life's priorities so simple. Good night, all.
