I still have no good news to proclaim over my shoulder.  It hurts.  It aches sitting up, it aches lying down, it aches overnight.  The pain itself feels different, so is that progress?  I don't know.  What I feel right now might also be compounded by having shoveled the driveway.  We got about 3-4 inches of surprise snow on Saturday morning and another 2 or so overnight last night.  I can't help but worry about my Jingletown friends.  If I have 6" if now they have what -- 3 or 4 feet?  Are ya'll okay over there?

Saffy had her yearly vet appointment on Friday.  The indicated she is a supermodel body-wise and looking good.  We did still do a blood panel, which I am waiting to hear back on, just to make sure everything we can't see is looking well.  As I suspected she did have a slight ear infection going on in her right ear, so she hates me now as I have to put medicine in 2x a day.
