Sally Field describes how her family reacted when she told them she was diagnosed with osteoporosis.

Sally Field:
Well, I have three sons. You know, I think I was, you know, trying to make it sound worse so they would worry about me in some way. I wanted them to care. I was saying, “I am fragile. I could break at any moment. Doctor said don’t fall down,” which he did say, and then they very much treated it like, “Oh, Mom, come on, you’ll be fine. You’ll be fine.”
