As we head into the (rather chillier than we hoped for) weekend, let’s take a moment to celebrate our wins of the week. What’s been a positive moment for you?

Hi agingfeminist ,

Thank you so much for your feedback—you’re absolutely right, not every week comes with a win, so we've just added an option that we hope acknowledges that.

Wishing you the very best,

Lulu

Thanks. sorry if I seemed like a killjoy but there is for many of us the lived experience of no wins and we should also have a voice.

Couldn't agree more! Thank you again for highlighting that very valid point and helping to give others a voice :)

Take care,

No you’re not and I agree, no wins for me either. Empathy from another aging feminist. Just be as strong as you can be and you can’t do more.x

Another option which is more accurate for what happened this week was that I gave supple and information (also about this forum) to a friend who has just been diagnosed

Moved to a new flat, got a new bed, thought it was new mattress unfortunately it's my left hip which will have to be inspected by my doctor

Two things for me this week....I went to a talk about osteoporosis being given at a local physio practice where the main physio who I've seen before was also diagnosed 2 years ago. And, just had injections in both hips which is hopefully going to make the vital exercises easier, fingers crossed.

Went on a long walk, cleaned out the garage, and ate leafy-green calcium-rich veg three times (which is three times more than I care to do, hah). Courage to all us older ones working hard on this!

I read that swollen legs can be the cause of Proteinuria, I have swollen legs that are a problem even first thing in the morning and although I put them up during the day they don’t go down. Physio thinks I don’t move enough!

I find it challenging about the one with healthy eating as I am mainly PEG fed & the feed that I am on has fat in. My exercise this week was really gentle.

Getting out of bed to go to the loo, I slipped on the rug, lost my balance, ending in me falling, hitting a wooden door with my right shoulder and hip and no way of getting up. Fortunately Hubby had heard the crash and came into bedroom to lift me up. Best bit: NO BONES BROKEN. What a relief.

Not easy to win when you have to inject yourself and feel pain in your bones. Really need a win. Couldn't even go out for my birthday on Friday.
