On Tuesday, November 6, Abby Lee Miller shared this photo on Instagram.
“Grrrrrrrr!!!!” she wrote in the captions. “Back to the daily grind.”
That means that she is officially back to work filming Dance Moms.
It has been more than a year and a half since she departed the show (which was a couple of months before she reported to prison).
“Comment if you can guess what we’re shooting today?” she asks her fans.
She also shared a weirder pic.
Then there is this photo that we would be at a loss to explain without the caption.
“I think this dancer is finished making QUICK CHANGES from 1 Costume to another!!!” Miller captions the pic.
It’s a very goofy photo and, without that context, we’d never have guessed that it was a costume change.
Miller concluded her caption: “Thanks to all for a great day of work!”
Well, that’s certainly a behind-the-scenes look that you don’t see every day.
Abby Lee Miller is no longer staying in rehab.
As you can see in this photo (which has been edited, but she’s fighting cancer and it’s very understandable), she enjoyed pumpkin season.
Unfortunately, reports say that Miller’s departure from rehab in September had less to do with being on the mend.
They had more to do with money.
Receiving around-the-clock care is expensive.
Now she is at home and remains unable to walk.
From the beginning, before she was even diagnosed, her Burkitt lymphoma manifested in the form of creeping paralysis.
Doctors initially assumed that she had an infection, and performed an emergency spinal surgery.
Upon examining her spine, however, doctors discovered that she did not have an infection, but a rare form of non-Hodgkins lymphoma known as Burkitt lymphoma.
Burkitt is generally found in children, where it has a high recovery rate.
This fast-spreading cancer is rarer in adults, where recovery rates are said to be somewhat lower.
The good news is that fast-spreading cancers are typically more receptive to treatment than slow-spreading but resilient cancers.
That is a small comfort, but you take good news when you can.
Adding insult to injury, Miller was still at a halfway home when she received this diagnosis.
That’s right. Last summer she entered prison to begin serving her 366-day sentence.
She hadn’t yet been fully released by the state of California (a halfway house is not freedom, folks) before she began this serious cancer battle.
We’ve been deservedly harsh on Miller, but she does not deserve to be fighting for her life.
But now Miller is back to work.
We hope that her health will continue to improve.
Her wig is very close to her natural hair and it looks like she’s approaching Dance Moms with a positive attitude.
Sometimes, that’s all that you can do.
We should note that Lifetime has not yet announced a return date for the hit reality series.

Around 11:20 p.m. on Wednesday night, an unnamed assailant dressed entirely in black walked into the Borderline Bar & Grill in Thousand Oaks, California and opened fire with a handgun.
According to the latest information from Ventura County Sheriff Geoff Dean, 11 victims were found dead inside of the establishment, while a 12th victim has been identified as Ron Helus.
Helus was a Ventura sheriff’s sergeant who responded to 911 calls from the bar and who entered with the intention of stopping the shooter.
He was killed for his heroic effort.
Holden Harrah, a 21-year old who was was among the hundreds inside listening to music Wednesday night as a part of a college night event, spoke to The Los Angeles Times about what she witnessed.
She told the newspaper that the shooter walk in the front door wearing a black hat, glasses and a black shirt. He also had a beard, she said, adding:
“He just pulled out a gun and shot my friend that was working the front desk,” he said.
Harrah managed to run out a side door and made his way outside.
“I heard more gunshots behind me. I was freaking out,” he said.
Authorities have not yet released the name of the shooter, who was also found dead inside the bar.
However, a a law enforcement source told The Times that he was 29-year-old armed with a Glock .45 handgun and some knd of smoke device.
He is believed to be a resident of Newbury Park and he drove his mother’s car to the establishment.
Approximately 10 others were shot, but not killed, the Associated Press reports.
Dean told reporters in a press conference that the surviving victims inside the bar had “different levels of injury” and were transported to local hospitals.
“It’s a horrific scene in there,” Dean said. “There is blood everywhere and the suspect is part of that.”
He added that police think the suspect acted alone.
“It’s part of the horrors that are happening in our country and everywhere,” Dean also told reporters. “I think it’s impossible to put any logic or sense to the senseless,” he continued.
“This community in my 41 years had never experienced anything like this.”
Authorities report that the man was heavily tattooed, but apparently didn’t have identification on him.
His gun was purchased in Ventura County.
Helus died as a 29-year veteran of the department.
He was planning to retire next year and is survived by a son and his wife, whom he called before entering the bar, Dean said.
The attack was the deadliest mass shooting in the United States since 17 students and teachers were killed at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, in February.
This tragedy came less than two weeks after a man killed 11 people at a synagogue in Pittsburgh.
UPDATE:
The gunman has been identified as a 29-year old former U.S. Marine named Ian Long.
It is believed to have used a .45 caliber handgun with an “extended magazine,” authorities state, and that he shot himself.
