This tip alone has already given me many more hours of sleep than I would have had "normally" in the last couple of nights. Who knew a little pillow would make so much difference? I still wake up every 2-3 hours, but at least I'm no longer in tears when I do. Thank you Snap for your wisdom.

My tentative date is 11/23, which relieves me of any obligations to travel over Thanksgiving. However if this pain progresses as much in the next two weeks as it did in the last two weeks, I'm in trouble.
