The lioness has severe anemia, a low count of red-blood cells, said Dr. Maria Crane, the zoo's vice president of veterinary services. Crane discovered the creature's condition after treating her for an upper respiratory infection in December.

"She is a 17-year-old lioness, which is toward the end of a lifespan," Crane said. "This is something I would consider life-threatening."

On Wednesday, Crane took a sample from Masai's bone marrow and sent it to the University of Georgia's veterinary labs. She hoped to hear from the UGA late Friday.

Week 62 chemo complete: Loving Spring by Phillip Jeffrey

Blogpost | Twitter | Pinterest

After a few days spend reading on the beach, yesterday I wandered down a hidden path and discovered some flowering trees, which helped me appreciate the beauty of springtime. Although it was lightly raining, I was protected by a tree canopy overhead.

Loving Spring, excited for summer adventures.

To recap: On Sunday, April 17th, I completed Cycle 16 Week 2. I have Multiple Myeloma and anemia, a rare blood cancer. It is incurable, but treatable. From February to November 2013, I received Velcade chemo through weekly in-hospital injections as an outpatient. Since February 9th 2015, I have been on Pomalyst and dexamethasone chemo treatment (Pom/dex).

I’ve been resting in bed since Wednesday fighting a cold, but I knew I had to venture out today to take my weekly photo. I really didn’t have the energy to walk far, so I chose a nearby forest. I find that being in nature always makes me happy.

Keeping a positive outlook on life!

To recap: On Sunday, October 4th, I completed Cycle 9 Week 2. I have multiple myeloma and anemia, a rare cancer of the blood plasma. It is treatable, but incurable. My treatment cycle is 21 days on (Pomalyst chemo pill), then 7 days off. I take dexamethasone, an oral steroid, every Monday. Thanks everyone for your ongoing support.

These last couple of weeks have been tough. Except for the last couple of days, I have felt fatigued, had memory problems, headaches, and experienced loss of time. This is all due to my high cancer levels (46.8 igG last month) and my anemia.

On Wednesday my specialist should get my results and I will find out if I will have to go back on chemo treatment. Based on how I'm feeling, I'm not too optimistic that I won't get a call.

One of the side effects of chemo is that my body temperature has been lower significantly. I just can’t handle cold weather, so I bundle up when I go outside and generally hibernate during the winter. The heater in my room is kept on high, to help me stay comfortable and sleep better at night.

I love the warmth of a fire. Makes me happy.

To recap: On Sunday, November 29th, I completed Cycle 11 Week 2. I have Multiple Myeloma and anemia, a rare blood cancer. It is incurable, but treatable. From February to November 2013, I received Velcade chemo through weekly in-hospital injections as an outpatient. Since February 9th 2015, I have been on Pomalyst and dexamethasone chemo treatment (Pom/dex).

Week 10 chemo complete: Thinking about time by Phillip Jeffrey

Time is always on my mind. When I’m lying in bed exhausted from chemo fatigue, I’m thinking about friends I’d rather be spending time with. Each chemo, I’m wondering about the long-term effects of treatment for an indefinite period on my body and mind. When I read about a fellow patient passing away from multiple myeloma, I reflect on my own time with this incurable disease.

Living with cancer has daily challenges, but I’m staying positive. Each time I watch the sun setting on the horizon, I’m thankful to make it through another day and remain optimistic that my future holds many more sunsets.

To recap: I have multiple myeloma and anemia, a rare cancer of the blood plasma. It is treatable, but incurable. On Sunday I completed Cycle 3 Week 2 (Week 10). On April 6th I began my third 28 day treatment cycle, 21 days on (Pomalyst chemo pill), then 7 days off. I take an oral steroid (dexamethasone) every Monday.

Look into my eyes by Robert Eede

52 19

I remember meeting a new girl.

We went out for a long walk in the woods on a lovely hot summers day. all of a sudden a beautiful fly landed on my arm.

I said to her, look at this fly's beautiful eyes. Then it bit me!

ARRHHH!! I screamed. Then I swiped off this evil creature and run away from it like a little girl ,waving my arms and flicking about my legs as I had shorts on.

I looked pathetic and tried to style it out but it was no use, I looked like a fool!

I will always admire the Horse fly ;)

Horsefly Facts

The horsefly gets its name after the females of the species, as the females feed on the blood of large animals like horses. This article provides more facts about this fly.

TAGGED UNDER: Horsefly

Horseflies belong to the tabanidae family. The other names by which they are known include breeze fly, forest fly, ear fly, or deer fly. They are considered as pests because of the bite that they inflict. Therefore, they belong to the world's largest true fly category. One interesting fact for kids is that the males of the species feed on pollen and nectar while the females suck blood of animals and in some cases, also humans. The males are therefore said to be important pollinators of flowers, primarily in the African continent, South Africa to be precise.

Other Interesting Facts

Horseflies are large and hairy. They are about 30 to 60 mm in length. Flies of this type can sometimes be known as gadflies, zimbs, or clegs. In Australia, they are called 'March flies', while in Canada, they are referred to as Bull Dog flies. There are approximately 3000 species of horseflies around the world, of which about 350 are found in North America alone. Large species like the mourning horsefly, black horsefly, etc. belong to the genus Tabanus, while the smaller and more common banded ones with either black, brown, or yellow bodies, dark markings on the wings, and brilliantly-colored eyes belong to the genus Chrysops. The deerflies, who are notorious for carrying diseases like anthrax and tularemia as well as the filaria worm infestation, also belong to this family. Horseflies are more often found in hot weather.

Life Cycle

Like all other files, this species also goes through a complete metamorphosis from the egg stage to the larval, pupal, and finally adult stage. The larvae are legless and are similar to maggots. They spend most of their time in water or in moist soil. They are known to spend their winters as larvae, after which they pupate in spring, and emerge as winged adults in early summer. The adults do not live longer than a few days.

Reproduction

Mating takes place in swarms, with many flies present at one location at the same time. Locations such as hilltops are chosen for it. The location chosen, the season, the time of day during which it takes place, all these details are said to be specific to particular species. The female lays black-colored, longish, and flat eggs, either on plants or on stones closer to a water body. On hatching, the larvae drop into the water or damp earth. This is where they live. They feed on snails or larvae of other insects. The larvae are somewhat flattened and have fleshy protuberances on each body segment which aid in locomotion.

Diet

As the males of the species feed on nectar and pollen, they are called the pollinators. The females suck blood. This difference is due to the fact that the males do not have the mouth parts required for blood feeding. The females more commonly feed on mammals, but in some cases can also be found feeding on birds, reptiles, as well as amphibians. The female lands on its prey silently and delivers a painful bite with its knife-like mouth parts. If the mouth parts are seen under a microscope, they look like jagged saw blades. The bite is painful because they actually cut a hole in the skin and soak up the blood which comes out. If they are plenty in number, they are known to suck as much as three ounces of blood a day from the host.

Behavior

These flies are very noisy when in flight. Their bite is very painful. They have tiny serrated mandibles with which they rip and/or slice flesh apart. Their bite becomes itchy, and may cause swelling if it is not treated immediately. Therefore, knowing about the treatment is necessary. It is very difficult to get a hold of these flies as they are agile and escape before the victim becomes aware of the pain signals.

Diseases

Apart from causing diseases such as anthrax and tularemia, these flies are also known to cause excessive blood loss in animals. There have been reports of animals losing as high as 300 milliliters of blood a day where these flies are present in large numbers. This can lead to weakness and even death. Apart from this, they can also cause anemia in animals and humans. In very rare cases, they have been known to cause anaphylaxis in humans which has turned out to be fatal.

Now that you are aware of these flies, you have to be careful if you stay close to swamps, marshes, ponds, and farms. Keep a look out for large, hairy flies with wings, bulging eyes, and reddish antennae.

Fraisse’s Ferruginous Ampoules box design by Karen Horton

5 6

This time I think my random purchases at the flea market has gone too far.

I bought this little box recently purely based on aesthetics (and a little bit of curiosity). But it didn't hit me that I purchased something highly toxic until I was home, and saw the little fine print reading: "poison." The contents in the inside of the box are terrifying and I'm too frightened to even touch the pamphlet to read more about the ingredients.

To make my find even stranger, I really couldn't find too much encouraging background information on this specific product. The only clear mention I found was a description of a similar box in Samuel Beckett’s short story, "More Pricks Than Kicks."

"...The day was out of danger, any fool could see that. A little sealed cardboard box lying on the mantelpiece caught his eye. He read the inscription: Fraisse’s Ferruginous Ampoules for the Intensive Treatment of Anaemia by Intramuscular Squirtation. Registered Trademark—Mozart. The little Hexenmeister of Don Giovanni, now in his narrow cell for ever mislaid, dragged into bloodlessness! How very amusing...”

—excerpt from Samuel Beckett: Poems, short fiction, and criticism found on Google Books

Through my online research, I did see that there is a demand for vintage pharmaceutical artifacts. But unless someone can give me some encouraging feedback, I think I need to look into how to dispose properly of hazardous waste. And I will never buy a pretty box without looking inside and will stay far away from antique liquids.

Thank you in advance for any help anyone can share about this. I need to decide if I did the stupidest thing on earth or rescued a unique item that someone else might appreciate.

Max by Just Joe ( I'm back...sort of )

34 72

I've been stuck in a rut lately and have been working until 7:00 o"clock every day. I haven't had time to get out and take any photos or keep up with the challenges. I am glad to say that it's over. Yesterday Toni and I worked in the yard and restained our whole deck. Later we went to Wildwood Park for the Arts and "The Stars Come Out"...a night of celebrity dancing and fundraising benefit for the fight against Sickle Cell Anemia. It's good to get back to a normal lifestyle.

This afternoon we sat around in the back yard and watched the pugs run, romp and play. Max took a little break and just looked cute so I took this shot of him as he watched the others run.

Please Pray by Me Bee

This friend of mine is in the hospital with some unknown disease/condition/sickness that is leaving him with severely low hemoglobin, platelet and white blood cell counts. They've run several tests and cannot figure out what he has. They say they've never seen it before. He is young (turns 24 this month) and lives an athletic lifestyle. The blood transfusions aren't seeming to help. He felt fine at Thanksgiving.

Please pray for my friend to have strength through this time, and for the doctors to be blessed with wisdom.

His name is Leonard.

12/4/09 Update: He has been diagnosed with aplastic anemia. They haven't determined how he got it or the exact treament yet, but it's a big step to know what his condition is. Thank you for all the prayers and support!

12/7/09 Update: Leonard's platelet counts have continued to drop and have reached a critical low point. He was transferred to a "better" hospital which should be better able to treat him. Today is going to be a big day as the doctors try to set forth a treatment plan. Please keep praying for Leonard to have strength and peace and for the doctors to be blessed with wisdom as they work to heal my friend's body.

Update 2/11/2010

Leonard stated chemotherapy today. His bone marrow transplant will occur on Tuesday. His sister is the donor. He will be in Houston for the treatment and the several months of recovery after.

Carbone by myri_bonnie

Voilà Carbone a été à son contrôle chez le vétérinaire et à sa prise de sang. La vétérinaire est assez optimiste, les valeurs de créatinine ont bien descendu, tout en étant encore au-dessus de la limite (23 au lieu de 21) et il a repris du poids, 320 g en 1 mois. Là où c'est moins bon c'est que son anémie a augmenté ce qui pourrait être la confirmation que son insuffisance rénale est chronique, mais ça reste un peu tôt pour l'affirmer. Cependant avec son médicament et la nourriture appropriée on dirait qu'on va arriver à maintenir ses valeurs sous contrôle... ouf.....

So, Carbone went to the vet for his check-up and his blood test. The vet is fairly optimistic, creatinine values went well down, while still above the limit (23 instead of 21) and he gained weight, 320 g in 1 month. The negative point is that his anemia has increased what could be the confirmation that his kidney disease is chronic, but it's still a little early to tell. However with his medication and proper food it looks like we will manage to keep his values under control ... whew .....

Magic Wand Princess Rainboots by Jason Nunez

8 7

Cheese for the day to make up for all the pain and angst we put her through.
