testing too late

Hi Diane,

I read your journal entry and I must say that I am incredibly encouraged by what you wrote. Thank you for your honesty and willingness to share your experience. But more than that, I want to share my appreciation for being a voice of encouragement to young women. I think many young women can benefit from reading your entry and I hope they take your words of wisdom to heart and start taking the necessary precautions to prevent osteoporosis.

I wish you all the best. Please know that your battle against osteoporosis can serve as a source of strength and encouragement to others, like myself.

Many thanks,
Rose

Hi I'm 70  fell and broke humerus. first surgery put together with cables to have bone heal.  the cables went around bicep muscle and totally shredded it.  then took out cables 2nd surgery.. then next surgery put in biomet prothesis.  it has moved up and now 4th surgery to put in a reverse.

   I too was very active bicycling, working, etc.  went into depression.  but now have decided and it works to concentrate on what I can do... not what I can't.  I am able to walk... and enjoy scenery... read books... help others.. drive them to drs with my "steering wheel assist" knob on steering wheel.  try and live with a positive attitude and enjoy life even with the narcotics... I can babysit my grandson 2 1/2 but not pick him up.  so try and enjoy life....  you can... sincerely claudette
