SVN commits now available
The SVN commits are now available for viewing. At present, only the FreeBSD src tree is working through SVN. Therefore, the easiest way for you to see those commits is through the FreshSource interface. That link takes you to the SVN version. You will notice that the src commits are duplicated.

OMG! The back!
OMG, I didn’t notice this, but my doctor did. The back of my thigh is also bruised up. She figures there is a pint of blood in there.
More bruise pics
The area of numbness in the left leg seems to be decreasing. It is now roughly the size of my hand. Bruising continues to spread. The elbow is feeling better.
