Hard Week

My cat, Santiago, had surgery on Thursday to remove a growth between his shoulder blades. A fibrosarcoma was removed by Dr. Hill. This is one of the worst cancers that an animal or person could get. The growth has tentacles and Santi's had gone down around his spine. It was removed but the biopsy showed a low to intermediate fibrosarcoma w/ a 22% chance of recurrence. If it recurred, it would probably be in the spine, etc...We brought Santi home Saturday and I thought being at home would be the best for him. However, it didn't seem to do much and I brought him back Sunday am. He is being forced fed, has an iv for fluids etc, etc, etc...I will go and visit him tomorrow as I have done since he was hospitalized.

This coming week, I plan to focus on learning Content DM so I can input the fashion plates and their data and get this part over w/ I also plan to continue entering sites into Infomine.

I attended a new yoga class tonight: Restoration Yoga. Basically, you use a bolster and a blanket and hold poses for 5-7 minutes. Very relaxing--great way to end the weekend/begin the week.

I had my numbers run at GEMS and I have lost 4 fat pounds and transformed them into muscle pounds. Apparently this is quite good for one month. I have lost bust/waist size but nothing at hips/thighs! Must continue to work at it!I plan to increase yoga from 2x/week to 3/week and GEMS from 3x/5x week.
