Doc Appointment

[Guest guest]

hiya,

Some may recall my post a bit ago mentioning my RD appointment. My Mom changed

it to today instead of the twenty-first, as originally planned. Though it went

well my shoulder has stopped hurting, for now, so I couldn't exactly describe to

him as I'd hoped to.  And after all these years I don't remember pain, at all. 

I just block it out, it's probably the only thing that keeps me from a state of

constant self-pity.  But I wrote down what I did feel just in case of this so I

had something to talk to him about regarding my shoulder. 

He told me the results of my bone density scan and I have osteopenia, which is

apparently a step above osteoporosis, so now I have to pick a osteo-drug to

improve my bones.  So I have to pick between Fosamax, Actonel, or Boniva.  Ah,

more loveliness.  Though I'm not sure why, I actually expected to hear better

results from the scan.  I know I shouldn't've but I suppose that's the bit of me

that always lingers for the hope then, of course, fades into the background

though still ever present.

But on a more happier note, I walked in to the Doc's office, which I've never

done.  The staff, that only consists of the receptionist (I don't remember her

name), Marge(the nurse and the RD's wife), and Luekenmeyer (the RD), were

practically jumping up and down at the sight of me standing there.  It was funny

but cool.  I don't think I've ever walked that far in my entire life.  My Mom

kept asking me if I was alright all the way into the building, in the

elevator, even after we were sitting in the waiting room.  That was funny too. 

It was defintely different, everywhere I go that I'm not at home or someone

else's home I use the chair.  So it was weird for me to be at eye level with

people.   Not to mention people actually looked at me for a change instead of

looking to my Mom for responses to questions.  I'm defintely gonna do it more

often when the chances present, that is if my knees and ankles'll allow it.

After about three years of seeing him I think more of him than probably any

other Doc I've seen, and that's alot, even with the ones I can remember.. 

Though he is a big dork, he's not as incompetent as my other docs are.

Has anyone been or is anyone on Fosamax, Actonel, or Boniva? Let me know,

thanks.
