So, here I am, waiting again. For an appointment with a bone specialist I saw 6 months ago—the same one who prescribed the calcium cocktail. Since the Arimidex I take is very new, and its long-term effect on bones still unclear, I’ve volunteered to join a clinical trial, if there’s one available; she’s looking.
And meanwhile, I check the alarm clock—yup, 4:30 a.m. Pack my gym bag. Find the big measuring spoon for the calcium. And get back on the treadmill—literally, and figuratively.
