Three Friends

OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO (((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((Darien))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
I can just imagine you in that horrible pain and it makes me sick, I'm so sorry.
At least you didn't do it BEFORE your trip, I'm trying to look on the bright side Darien, though there really isn't a bright side!!!!
Rest and let everyone wait on you!!!!! 

I have broken both my ankles, the left one when walking Kiska and then just over a year later, I broke the other one walking Maggie and Hugo.

Obviously my osteoporosis is getting worse as remember earlier this year I had an avulsion fracture in my right hip and I hadn't fallen or anything and now I have broken the 4th metatarsal bone in my right foot just walking up a step!!!!!!!! I was only in A&E yesterday for 3 hours and thankfully they didn't plaster my foot, but put me in a boot so at least I can shower without it and I don't need it on to sleep. I can weight bear on it, but I am using a cane to help me get about a bit better. Of course I can't drive anywhere, so Robert has to take me to any appointments like the fracture clinic next Wednesday morning and to have my hair trimmed this afternoon. It is very painful though, so I am taking panadeine forte.
You are right Linda, I am relieved it didn't happen before my UK trip or even while I was over there!!! I will however be wearing a clumsy boot on our stay in Sydney next weekend

Bugger. I had forgotten about your Sydney trip too !  IT must all be caused by your Osteoporosis surely and has the Dr told you this is so ? (((((((((((((((((((((((((((Darien)))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Can it ever get better ? 

The pain is easing somewhat now, I do have to be very careful how I place my foot though!!! I can't take the dogs for a walk though and it seems that every time I start to feel better and lose weight, something stops me!!!!! No, osteoporosis does not get better, but I am on calcium tablets and I have an injection every 6 months for it to try and prevent any further damage.

The short answer is no, osteoporosis cannot be completely reversed and is not considered curable, but there are a number of health and lifestyle adjustments you can make to improve bone loss. Your provider may also prescribe you medications to help rebuild and slow down bone loss.

I hadn't even noticed Linda

Then the moral of the story is ...do whatever you feel able to do.  Forget about weight loss, forget about horrible daughters, forget about walking the dogs and just do what you feel able to do !!! Stay in bed ALL day if you feel like it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Make Robert cook dinner if you DON'T feel like doing it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ((((((((((((((((((((((Darien)))))))))))))))))))))))))

OK, OK I know you will not do this BUT it is a Thought !!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Losing weight is a lot easier if you can walk, it really makes a difference.  Right now you can't walk but one day you can get back at it.

I go to the fracture clinic next Wednesday morning so we will see what happens from then on and of course we too are away next weekend, from the 4th November to the 7th November. I was looking forward to wandering around Sydney again and even going back to that gorgeous cafe and do some more knitting Hopefully I can walk that far with this wretched foot. We are staying in a very posh hotel this time, The Fullerton.
