Today I took Monty to the vet at 745, for breast cancer surgery. Then I came home and cleaned nervously and machined things nervously.
I picked her up at 1430, and she's fine.

Vet says it appeared to be an isolated, loose tumor, her x-rays are clean, and he thinks she'll be fine. We get more blood test results on Tuesday.

One of the things I did while waiting to go pick her up is set the mill up in a weird way. I tilted the head off to one side and put some aluminum in a chuck on the bed, so I could rotate the chuck (by hand) while the mill spindle rotated and cut a circular track into the aluminum.






This is one of the weirder ways to make compound curves in metal.

Oh, good news! Gentle hugs and pets for Monty. She doesn't need to wear a cone?

Not so far, and when I leave her alone, she gets a tight-fitting sweater. So far, that's been adequate.

That second to last shot is totally disco glitter ball.

I had a plan for a disco ball in the downstairs bathroom, but lack of time rudely intervened.

That downstairs bathroom is so over the top and amazing.

Glad that Monte is doing ok. We took three lumps off of Tazlina last year, one of which was cancerous. So I know how hard it is. Tazlina seems fine now.
Very nice ball!

Best wishes for a good recovery! when I picked Aiko up after his surgery I thought he'd been brain-damaged. He didn't seem to recognize the concept of getting into the car; he thought we should walk home, or, at least, as far away from the vet as we could get. And that was a very brief time under. But he seems to have recollected all his marbles now.

Good news on Monty! Crossing fingers.

You are a human-machine hybrid rose engine, basically.

I have always wanted to build a rose engine. Some day, maybe.

Good news about Monty--love the scarf!

Glad to hear Monty made it through. That lovely round bit of aluminum looks like an excellent thing to make as a distraction from being concerned.

Yay for no cone!

I'm so glad of the good news about Monty!

I hope Monty is okay. Good luck to both of you!
