Bum Bum

HAHA!!! That's such a funny title. I just now thought of it, too!!!

I have a bad butt. I pinched a nerve (sciatic...?sp?) and it makes pain shoot down like fire to my foot, and then makes my foot all tingly and ouchy.

I also have bursitis of the hip. Which makes my hip scream in pain anytime anything touches it. Basically I have to not do anything except stretch, ice and take advil for a week and then we will reassess. I also get these tingly ultrasound treatments on my butt three times a week.

In other news, today Maddie is going to get a blessing at my parents church. It is her first. We used to take Bo each year and it is always a nice thing. Our Deacon used to thank Bo for being such a nice blessing for her family and tell her how much happiness she brought. I think they will tell Maddie something similar, but also that she is the bestest snuggler ever created. And that she should not stop.

Really, that's the big difference between Bo and Maddie. Bo was fiercely independent. She would only snuggle when she felt like it, which wasn't often. She hated when I touched her paws. And she enjoyed just being in the room with people.

Maddie on the other hand snuggles so aggressively that people tend to get hurt. She MUST be in the middle of her people at all times. She likes to touch my hand with her paw and I hold her paw while we watch TV. In the car she likes to sit on my lap and at night she snuggles right in between us under the covers.
