Update: Stupid Ear Bump

So this is the deal, if you've been following... I had this thing on my ear that showed up out of nowhere. Mom freaked out. We REALLY try to avoid me going to the Vet, or having one come here because then I REALLY FREAK OUT. I'm 18 and Mom doesn't want me having a stroke because of an exam that may be for nothing harmful...

So we're waiting it out to see if it goes away with Neosporin.

It hasn't gone away, but it's reduced in size a little, and it's not dark red anymore, now it's pink, like the rest of my ear. So we're waiting.

Dad is POSITIVE it's nothing to worry about and will go away on its own. Mom still thinks it might need to be lanced or I might need oral antibiotics, but they're both pretty decided that they don't think it's a tumor, and the Vet is advising us via Mom's pics of my ear.

It's finally decent enough to show you a pic. I didn't want to gross anyone out earlier, but now it's just a big ol' pink bump on my dang ear. Not so scary looking. Mom's still not happy about it, though.

But I had a great time today - ran down the stairs into the courtyard, wandered around, ran back up again... I'm feelin' pretty fly for an old guy.

I'll let you know if there's anything to report...

Thanks, everybody!
