Better News
Well I have been dreading todays Bone Density exam.... Last time I was diagnosed with osteoporosis. I have been taking my vitamins, extra D, folic acid and calcium. Today's scan was better than last.. I still have osteoporosis but the numbers are better.
before I was a -4.1 today was -3.7. in my back and my hip before was -2.4 and today -2.1
Not great progress but I am happy. I am a "klutz" and Fall ..... so far nothing broken and I have had a couple pretty good falls.
I will need to make an appointment.. probably after Christmas and go in to find out about my right shoulder. Before stroke I had rotator cuff surgery and a bone spur removed on the left side. They had to shorten the tendon at that time and I had extensive PT on it, That is one of the reasons I think I got movement back, and did not get a sublaxated shoulder.
The pain with movement is getting worse on the right. I have heard sometimes they can do repair laparascopically now.
Tomorrow I will start baking. We are going to John's sister's house for Thanksgiving Dinner. I am to bring green bean casserole and dessert. I want to get a few extra bannana nut breads made for little gifts and one for the freezer.
The "kids" are coming over from Eastern Washington, but they are going to Bear's mom's house for dinner. I think they will be dropping off Bill here, he wants to go with us. (I was going to call my sister-in law and warn her to cook an extra turkey...LOL Bill is 141/2 years old, 6'.5" and 228 lbs.. he is getting close to ducking in the doorways. He completed football season. they had the football banquet. He received an engraved football key chain for not missing any practices or games. He had several sacks this year, and the coaches tell him he has a LOT of potential
HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL
