Thanks, Vicki, and I do see where there seems to be evidence you can't ignore on the Fosamax connection. If it's so "effective" as destroying bones, maybe someone can figure out how to use Fosamax as an easy way to
de-bone a salmon! As for my stress fracture, it happened the day after I jumped up and down fifty times on a hard wood floor, wearing a 10-lb. weighted vest -- I had read such an exercise could increase bone density and ignored all warnings about warming up and "consulting your doctor" if you already have osteoporosis. I've been having soreness in the back of my right thigh, but I can walk just fine -- I'm thinking it may be a very slight hairline thing, due to lack of much real pain and nothing having shown up (yet) on x-ray. Mainly the soreness is when I sit and -- unless it's just wishful thinking -- about two months out from the injury, I may be feeling a little less discomfort these past couple of days. Depending on how it feels Monday, I may go ahead and get an MRI, since my doc said that can confirm the fracture. Hope I don't need the rod -- even with low bone density, isn't it possible for such an injury to heal on its own?
Okay, thanks, for your good wishes, and -- well, with our bones seeming to be "going away," seems appropriate to sign off with Bone Voyage!
