Osteoporosis, Oseopenia.....................................

July 10, 2008

Guess I have a lot of things I don't talk about because most of the

things I do have are under control with meds. I had severe

osteopenia and osteoporosis for 30 years before I had my hip replaced

and my major back surgery 2 years ago,. That is why I feel so good

now probably. I kept putting off going to have hip and back surgery

because I knew if I did have them I would have to quit my executive

administrative secretarial position with the banks I was with for

years. I was sitting on my " butt " too many years, (ha) and there you

go !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All over now,

just the shouting instead. My left shoulder is always in a lot of

pain as I can't lay on it at night and now my right hip (the past

month) has given me the heebee geebees. I don't say anything because

my PF is most important to me. When I sit and type I sit on a nice

soft bed pillow so it is comfortable for me. The arthritis is in my

hands, shoulders and pretty bad in my feet, it takes away from my

walking right. Also with the hip replacement in 1999, my left leg

now is longer than my right because of the (screws, nuts, and bolts)

attached. THAT IS NOT A RECIPE. !!!! hee

I was a stupid girl at 40 and went ice skating at the local high

school skating rink, (wearing a mini skirt outfit, o wow) and white

skates and twilling like a freak, and I went flat on my left wrist

and I could hear it crack. woowwww. Did it hurt. Had it in a cast

for 7 wks. And running a security business too with attack dogs.

This was in MA. Loved the business. Because it was ours.

Any hoooo, I could just go on and on, but won't bore you anymore with

the particulars of my life. I have a special motto at this point in

my life: WHO AM I TO SAY NO TO ME??

I LOVE YOU THIS DAY

HEAVEN IS IN THE NEXT ROOM
