2 days cooped up in the house with only a short little trip to the Vet yesterday to find out what this awful lump is on Bailey's chest. My poor girl! We weren't very concerned with it because we just figured it was a fat deposit... but it got bigger and harder one day and I freaked out! The day we went to the vet it was a little smaller and squishier. At first I didn't tell the vet about that... just that it had grown. She said the dreaded word... "tumor". I like to prepare myself for the worst so anything better is just a relief... so I wasn't very surprised when she said it. We started talking about scheduling an appointment to remove the nasty thing and then I mentioned the part about it being squishier today. She looked at me with surprise and said "Really? Well, then it may not be a tumor at all! It could just be an infection from a hair follicle". WHAT??? So she gave us some antibiotics and we were sent home to monitor the lump for the next 7 days. If it shrinks... then that is what it was. If it doesn't change, we will have to have it removed. I really don't want my girl to have a surgery... so we are hoping it's just the hair follicle thingy!!!
Today was a nice day. I went to lunch at an Italian place called Rosanno's with a friend. We had the best salad and it was nice to talk to another adult after only having the dogs and Facebook to talk to the last couple of days. After lunch, I went to the commissary. I didn't really need anything but cereal for my boys... but it was nice to be out and run into friends. On my way home, I had some running music playing in the car. I just got this feeling that I needed to go for a run today! One more run for our babies! I haven't been feeling up to working out much lately... so when the feeling strikes, I should take advantage of it. And it was such a nice day for a jog! I didn't go as far as I normally do... but I did get in a little over 2 miles. Anyways... it was a much better day than staying at home becoming a frantic google queen!!!
