Good news? I'm alive, that's a start. Oh and I'm moving around and walking. That is a blessing in itself. The cold is getting to me so it hurts a lot more but, hey, I'm used to pain.

As someone who deals with pain every day the best comfort I can give is that any day when the pain is a little lessthan it was yesterday should be considered a good day, and any day with no pain at all warrants a celebration.
I hope your pain at least gets a little less in the days to come.
