ZLATIBOR is a mountain of exquisite beauty. It has pleasant and mild climate, large clearings, exuberant pastures intersected with mountains with mountain streams and pine trees - which this mountain is named for.
The average hight is about 1000m above sea level.
Mountain and sea gulfs encounter here which speed up the curing and the recovering from large number of lung and heart illnesses, especially from illnesses of thyroid gland and anemia.
The Balkans is the historical name of a geographic region of southeastern Europe. The region takes its name from the Balkan Mountains, which run through the centre of Bulgaria into eastern Serbia. The region has a combined area of 550,000 km2 (212,000 sq mi) and a population of about 55 million people.
The ancient Greek name for the Balkan Peninsula was “the Peninsula of Haemus” (Χερσόνησος του Αίμου, Chersónisos tou Aímou).
The Balkans are adjoined by water on three sides: the Black Sea to the east and branches of the Mediterranean Sea to the south and west (including the Adriatic, Ionian, Aegean and Marmara seas).
The identity of the Balkans is dominated by its geographical position; historically the area was known as a crossroads of various cultures. It has been a juncture between the Latin and Greek bodies of the Roman Empire, the destination of a massive influx of pagan Slavs, an area where Orthodox and Catholic Christianity met, as well as the meeting point between Islam and Christianity.
The Balkans today is a very diverse ethno-linguistic region, being home to multiple Slavic, Romance, and Turkic languages, as well as Greek, Albanian, and others. Through its history many other ethnic groups with their own languages lived in the area, among them Thracians, Illyrians, Romans, Uzes, Pechenegs, Cumans, Avars, Celts, Germans, and various Germanic tribes.
The Balkan region was the first area of Europe to experience the arrival of farming cultures in the Neolithic era. The practices of growing grain and raising livestock arrived in the Balkans from the Fertile Crescent by way of Anatolia, and spread west and north into Pannonia and Central Europe.
In pre-classical and classical antiquity, this region was home to Greek city-states, Illyrians, Paeonians, Thracians, Epirotes, Mollosians, Thessalians, Dacians and other ancient groups. Later the Roman Empire conquered most of the region and spread Roman culture and the Latin language but significant parts still remained under classical Greek influence. During the Middle Ages, the Balkans became the stage for a series of wars between the Byzantine, Bulgarian and Serbian Empires.

Lifers!
Yes, got the full profile, but without the degree of clarity he deserves!
wounds that seem the same over the years but mutate, but change, but hurt in a different way each day. They don't heal. They only change.
Having suffered with an overactive thyroid for many years, the medication just wasn't enough anymore. Very sadly missed R.I.P. Darling boy. 14 yrs and 4 months old. 1.8.2006 -31.12.2020
Her tiredness and lack of appetite over the last 3 weeks have worried me a little. The vet has now found out that her thyroid medication is now too high, even though the dosage has been right for the last 2 years. Now i hope that she will soon become more active again. Fortunately, she has gained 300g in weight in the last 6 months.
I'm really running out shots to post! I better get myself out tomorrow and or Sunday to shoot some new stuff!
An update on my cat Monster - They think he has a thyroid problem which is causing issues with his heart rythms. There are more technical terms for everything, but that's it in a nutshell. Tomorrow I take him for more bloodwork, then they are going to do a T3 suppression test on Tuesday. Hopefully this will be the issue and it can be resolved with thyroid medication.
Flickr Friday - Fur - 12 May 2023.
A portrait of my buddy Boush (short for Taboushka) who was 20 years old in February, has few teeth, is deaf, has kidney and thyroid issues. He came to us as his previous long term owner was moving into a care home. If he did not get another home, the unthinkable was going to happen, so we took him in!
We were told he was not well but that was nearly two years ago. He has settled well and seems relatively fit. Despite his condition and seeing the vet regularly, he does not seem to moan much and is so giving and affectionate, a wonderful addition to the family.
Sadly Boush passed away on 09 Oct 2023, a great loss.

Here are pictures of Cosmo the cat taken during the month of March 2023 at home in Ypsilanti, Michigan. He is approaching his 17th birthday in early May, but last year, the vet noticed all sorts of old cat problems. He has cataracts, is on thyroid medicine and eating wet food - and that makes him very happy. Recently, he had a sore over his right eye. We are watching it and hoping it goes away.
3 years ago on April 30 I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. Im different now, in good and not so good ways, but I'm happy and I'm thankful and sometimes that's enough.
You can see how small Milu is next to big boy Kaiser. This also lets me know that she's unwell as she would never sleep near the other cats if she felt alright. The update is that she was kept in overnight - she was given laxatives and pain killers. She still hadn't eaten or passed a stool but the vet thought it best for her to come home as she was so stressed being there. Sure enough she ate a small amount on her return and went to the toilet. However, the bad news is that her thyroid levels are dangerously high so her medication has been change again. Unfortunately, the vet was not that positive so we will see how she goes over the next couple of days. Hopefully, she can turn a corner but it is a case of waiting to see what happens next to our sweet little girl

Merci à ceux qui ont pris des nouvelles de Pistache.
Hier elle a eu une prise de sang, qui a l'étonnement général était très bon au niveau des valeurs thyroïdiennes. La dernière fois elles étaient mauvaises, mais je soupçonne qu'elle avait recraché son médicament (la prise de sang doit être faite 4 h après la prise du médicament).
Ca pourrait sembler être une bonne nouvelle, mais du coup ce n'est pas l'explication de son état : elle est déshydratée alors qu'elle boit beaucoup et a encore maigri (elle pèse 2kg390). Ses valeurs rénales sont parfaites elles aussi. Du coup il y a suspiçion de cancer. Je ne vais pas lui faire subir d'autres examens. Elle sera mise lundi sous cortisone en traitement palliatif. Bien entendu je ne la laisserai pas souffrir, mais là elle vient de faire un petit tour au jardin, donc tant qu'elle a la volonté de vivre on se battra ensemble. Maintenant la vétérinare était pessimiste, nous nous approchons inexorablement de la fin......
Thank you to those who have asked me news about Pistache.
Yesterday she had a blood test, which to everyone's astonishment was very good in terms of the thyroid values. The last time they were bad, but I suspect that she had spat out her medicine (the blood test must be done 4 hours after taking the medicine).
It might seem like good news, but now there isn’t any explanation of her condition: she is dehydrated even though she drinks a lot and has lost weight again (she weighs 2kg390). Her kidney values are also perfect. So there is suspicion of cancer. I'm not going to put her through more tests. She will be put on cortisone on Monday for palliative treatment. Of course I won't let her suffer, but she just came back from a little walk in the garden, so as long as she has the will to live, we'll fight together. Now the vet was pessimistic, we are inexorably approaching the end......
Pistache est allée hier chez sa vétérinaire pour le rappel de vaccin et une prise de sang de contrôle. A part ses valeurs thyroïdiennes un peu hors limite malgré son traitement, le reste de sa prise de sang était parfaite. Néanmoins comme elle a encore maigri (elle ne pèse plus que 3 kg 500), on va essayer pendant un mois d'augmenter un peu son traitement pour voir si elle va reprendre du poids. Elle devra refaire une prise de sang dans un mois.
Pistache went to her vet yesterday for the vaccine booster and a check-up blood test. Apart from her thyroid values which were a little off limits despite her treatment, the rest of her blood test was perfect. However, as she has lost weight again (she weighs only 3.5 kg / 6.6 lbs), we will try for a month to increase her treatment a little to see if she will regain weight. She will have to have another blood test in a month.
Today Tim and I went to our main hospital as Tim had to have a routine ultrasound scan (a follow up to the surgery he had on his thyroid in 2019). Although most of the original building has gone and been rebuilt (apart from the red brick building), it still bring back memories of visiting my brother there when his diabetes etc were playing him up. It's the beautiful pine trees that I am always drawn to. I've been there a few times for myself, including when I had my brain haemorrhage, and I often accompanied my Mum when she had to go to the Eye Dept there.
The Queen Alexandra Hospital (commonly known as QA Hospital, or simply QA) in Cosham, Portsmouth, is one of the NHS hospitals serving the city of Portsmouth and the surrounding area. There are several small treatment outstations which have been opened to relieve the overload at the QA Hospital. It is publicly owned and is administered by the Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust and has a Ministry of Defence Hospital Unit attached.Originally a military hospital, The Queen Alexandra (named for Alexandra of Denmark, King Edward VII's consort) was built between 1904 and 1908 to replace an earlier hospital which stood in Lion Street in Portsea, Portsmouth. The original buildings were of red brick construction, and the site was in a largely rural area, linked to Portsmouth and the surrounding villages (now suburbs) by a tram service.
Later in the 1960s, it was announced that the Queen Alexandra would become a district general hospital, complete with an Accident and Emergency department. This involved the construction of several new buildings, which began in 1968 with an eye department, a training school for nurses and two three-storey blocks for staff accommodation. A further two accommodation blocks, this time nine storeys high, were added later, being completed in 1976. Only two of the planned three new ward blocks were built (Edited from Wikipedia)
In the background, on the hill, you can see Fort Widley.
Fort Widley is one of the forts built on top of Portsdown Hill between 1860 and 1868 on the recommendation of the Royal Commission on the Defence of the United Kingdom. It was designed, along with the other Palmerston Forts atop Portsdown, to protect Portsmouth from attack from the rear.

ANNOUNCEMENT: On Wednesday July 10th I will have surgery to have my Thyroid Gland removed!! I am not sure how long I will be off Flickr but it shouldn't be long!! ;)
Fizzy! Not quite so lean as she was when she had the overactive thyroid. She's more of a dignified if attention seeking older lady now.
Submission by artist Adine Schoonmaker for the brooklynartproject.com juried exhibition for Burning Man 2008 with wdydwyd.com.
"I spent most of my 20's suffering from undiagnosed Thyroid cancer and my early 30's in treatment and recovery. I began to feel normal and pretty and "alive" by my late 30's. I am now experiencing the excitement and passion and attention that i should have been enjoying in my youth. But now that i am "blooming", i am also noticeably aging. I do what i do because i still want to feel alive when men stop noticing me."
Zac is very much back in the game thanks to twice-daily medication. It turns out that his thyroid gland has been under-active, possibly for years, which would partially explain his huge weight gain with his previous master. (60 kilos back in the day when I collected him from the rescue kennels!) Getting him down to 35-ish kilos and keeping him there demands consistent vigilance and accurate scales, but he's worth it!
What a lovely day for a birthday! Tim decided he would take the day off and we spent a few hours in Chichester, where we had lunch in Crispins and Tim admired a motorbike!!
Quite a lot has happened since Tim's last birthday - radiotherapy on a lymphoma and surgery on a lump in his thyroid, but he has come through and we are making the most of life!

Some artwork from last summer! Tim had a bad run of cancers in 2019 (the year my Mum died - I thought 2020 would turn things around, but no, the pandemic hit!!) One of the cancers Tim had was a Non-Hodgkins lymphoma and they used radiotherapy to zap it away. This is the mask he had to wear for the treatment. They gave it to him to take away and I decided to paint it!
Tim's doing well now but they are keeping an eye on him as there is something showing up on his last scan on his thyroid - it might be scar tissue from the surgery he had done but they are monitoring things.
I have been battling my thyroid hormones for a while now... I feel sad, and depressed lately.... I dont feel like doing anything, I just want to crawl in bed and stay there.... finally getting back on health insurance this december.... so I'll get this hormonal problem fixed soon hopefully....
have a happy wednesday everyone... and HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
coming U N D O N E {July 28 // 212}
I've been thinking a lot about where I have come from, lost opportunities, change and who I'd like to be many years from now...
...There use to be a boy on the bus. On that bus we were friends, but on the school playground we were strangers. I was ashamed if my friends knew that we were friends. The day he was moving far, far away, he brought it up with me. I remember the movements of his face as he said each word; I remember exactly what he said to me and the disappointment in his voice. This boy will never know that from that day forward, I never lived two lives -- my friends on the bus were my friends on the playground. This boy's name was Mark, and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't remember this moment.
It is weird the memories we hold onto, the thoughts we think of each day.
Today I felt like my mother's H E A R T. It is hard to describe what exactly that means beyond the feeling. It is a feeling of wonder, curiosity, happiness and worry about all the people you've encountered in your life that you couldn't hold onto beyond the moment you had them. It is about missing those people; it is about letting words go unspoken in the presence of one another. Its about letting words out; letting feelings go; it is not about sacrificing your future; its about understanding who you were with these people, what you meant to them and what they mean to you. It is regret; it is struggle; it is the inability to fill your heart with others. Its disappointment, its wishing you were that much more stronger; its wishing things don't change. It is wishing you had your mother's heart.
We are composed of so many different types of living, independent cells that somehow live in a symbiotic relationship, capable of producing the same singular emotion together.
I had this fairy tale growing up, that my life could be perfect if I planned and was careful enough. I would never make a mistake, never fail, never be misunderstood, hurt or frightened by what was to come. I realized life doesn't work that way. It is messy and I just have to climb in it with my boots pulled up high, wearing my rain jacket, hoping for the best while I yodel with my heart in hand.
David Thoreau once said 'Heaven is under our feet as well as over our head.'
I see heaven in my family and friends because they are the foundation from which I stand on to reach the stars above. I wonder, if one day when I look back on my life I realize it was never about the big picture, it was really about the moments. And maybe one day I'll think back and string all those moments together and realize when I add them up that my life is more meaningful than I could have possibly dreamed of.
Just wait downtown, I'll be there. I just need a moment.
Happy Summer and Happy weekend everyone!
I know I am way behind on Flickr. I am just trying to catch up right now.
I found out last week that I have Hashimoto's thyroiditis. I have had hypothyroid since I was diagnosed at 19, but had no idea my immune system was attacking my own thyroid. So the last week I have been learning to live gluten-free and pretty much adjusting my diet and thyroid medications.
Anyway, I am really just taking time right now to get my health in check and be healthy and happy. I am still here!
I hope all of you are having a wonderful day....big hugs to all of you!
xoxo
Sandy wasn't our cat but belonged to neighbours across the road. However, I often looked after him when his owners were away and he spent many happy hours dozing in our kitchen or wandering down the road to see what everyone was up to. The local primary schoolchildren adored him and he would often place himself out on the pavement or in front of the school gate at school out time or first thing in the morning. Sometimes as many as six children might be around him patting his head and talking to him -and he loved it!
Sadly, Sandy had a thyroid problem and despite tablets he gradually lost interest in food (although he could choose from an extensive menu!)
Sandy died in his sleep at his home on Sunday night -a well-loved "community cat".
This is Sandy where he shouldn't have been, on our kitchen table -with some editing. He was about 16-17 years old but he had a colourful history which included a life in London, going stray for months and being returned to his original owners after being in an accident, moving to Eastbourne -and finally deciding to move in next door to his original owners when they got another cat and a dog.
She had a good vet visit, calm with the vet and tech. She got an A+ today on her report card. Thyroid level is down & in normal range so this dose of methimazole is working. Kidney tests are also good. Oh, and she gained back some of her weight, weighs 9.5 lbs now. So proud of my girl!
ZLATIBOR is a mountain of exquisite beauty. It has pleasant and mild climate, large clearings, exuberant pastures intersected with mountains with mountain streams and pine trees - which this mountain is named for.
The average hight is about 1000m above sea level.
Mountain and sea gulfs encounter here which speed up the curing and the recovering from large number of lung and heart illnesses, especially from illnesses of thyroid gland and anemia.
The Balkans is the historical name of a geographic region of southeastern Europe. The region takes its name from the Balkan Mountains, which run through the centre of Bulgaria into eastern Serbia. The region has a combined area of 550,000 km2 (212,000 sq mi) and a population of about 55 million people.
The ancient Greek name for the Balkan Peninsula was “the Peninsula of Haemus” (Χερσόνησος του Αίμου, Chersónisos tou Aímou).
The Balkans are adjoined by water on three sides: the Black Sea to the east and branches of the Mediterranean Sea to the south and west (including the Adriatic, Ionian, Aegean and Marmara seas).
The identity of the Balkans is dominated by its geographical position; historically the area was known as a crossroads of various cultures. It has been a juncture between the Latin and Greek bodies of the Roman Empire, the destination of a massive influx of pagan Slavs, an area where Orthodox and Catholic Christianity met, as well as the meeting point between Islam and Christianity.
The Balkans today is a very diverse ethno-linguistic region, being home to multiple Slavic, Romance, and Turkic languages, as well as Greek, Albanian, and others. Through its history many other ethnic groups with their own languages lived in the area, among them Thracians, Illyrians, Romans, Uzes, Pechenegs, Cumans, Avars, Celts, Germans, and various Germanic tribes.
The Balkan region was the first area of Europe to experience the arrival of farming cultures in the Neolithic era. The practices of growing grain and raising livestock arrived in the Balkans from the Fertile Crescent by way of Anatolia, and spread west and north into Pannonia and Central Europe.
In pre-classical and classical antiquity, this region was home to Greek city-states, Illyrians, Paeonians, Thracians, Epirotes, Mollosians, Thessalians, Dacians and other ancient groups. Later the Roman Empire conquered most of the region and spread Roman culture and the Latin language but significant parts still remained under classical Greek influence. During the Middle Ages, the Balkans became the stage for a series of wars between the Byzantine, Bulgarian and Serbian Empires.
Our 8 year old Saint Bernard, Gracie.
For the last month or so, things have been really rough for Gracie, and us. She started having trouble walking, and despite medication, it got progressively worse until she just couldn’t manage any more. We were referred to veterinary specialists, who after tests and scans, diagnosed a blown disc in her spine near the neck. This was operated on a few weeks ago and she has progressively got better, recovering well and nearly back to her good old self.
However, last week, tests carried out at the same time also revealed she had thyroid cancer, and it was not long after this devastating news that I took this picture.
She has since been back to the specialists again for further tests and scans, and they are confident that the cancer is confined, so she will undergo surgery again next Monday to remove it.
Fingers crossed, she will be back on the road to recovery by Christmas, and a great gift to us all.

Happy Macro Mondays everyone.
Haha - kelp does have all kinds of medicinal uses, iodine, vitamins, obesity fighter, thyroid regulator and is in Benni's dog food. I've tried chewing on leaves and it basically tastes like salt. Very hard to chew up and swallow in its natural form.
Mostly I like watching it swirl around in the ocean but I have seen kelp being harvested. Giant kelp can grow 1 meter per day and is one of the fastest growing organisms on Earth.

Like this old fishing boat I am in need of repair, I am having my thyroid removed (Monday) 9 January at 11am, so I do not know when I will be back on line. It will be at least 2 -3 days but could be longer, depends how I feel and when they let me out of the hospital. I will do my best to post a update on this picture, or a new one, ASAP, if at all possible. Have a great day and keep smiling.
I discovered a lump on her throat...very likely thyroid cancer. She is having it removed tomorrow morning. Prognosis looks good. The lump is small, unattached and chest X-ray looked good.

Today I got the results from Cisco's annual health check. And while his heart is still strong (he always had have the heart of an athlete) and the liver and kidney results are excellent he does have an underactive thyroid. There's nothing to worry about that. He's getting thyroxine now and that's it.
I know that we will slowly have to deal with health issues, he's 11.5 years old. Not getting younger...sigh....but for now he's still in a super condition.
Way to go, sugar bear! ♥♥♥
Some shots of Cisco in action at the beach are blogged now.
Here are pictures of Cosmo the cat taken during the months of August through November 2022 at home in Ypsilanti, Michigan. He is a good looking 16 year old cat, but this year, the vet found all sorts of old cat problems. He has cataracts, is on thyroid medicine and eating wet food - and that makes him very happy. Also some pictures here of his brother Runyon.

unfortunately, the news about Stella is not as good.
We noticed that Stella was loosing weight back in the springtime. After a checkup, we discovered that she had a hyper-thyroid and we started her on medication.
She also has a tumor on her one mammary gland.
After several examinations and some x-rays we've unfortunately discovered that it's cancer and it's spread.
She's a fighter, and it's obvious she's not ready to leave us yet, so we'll monitor her to make sure she stays comfortable.
My heart is heavy.
