JazakAllah khayr to each and every one of you for your suggestions (even the ghost-busting suggestion since it lightened my mood and made me smile). As I've mentioned before (for the time-being) SF is pretty much my only connection to other Muslims so: may Allah (SWT) keep you well and reward you greatly for all of your good deeds and particularly for the generosity and compassion you've shown in helping me. Ameen.
