Just keeping going

It is so interesting hearing other people's problems. I had an MRI scan yesterday to see if the right leg is going the same as the left one (steel rod inserted for fracture caused by AA). I also have painful shoulders treated now by osteopathy. We think the bisphonates stay in the system for some time which is annoying. It does not help that I have glaucoma, lymphodemia slight asthma etc. But my philosophy is to keep on smiling. Thank goodness for a sense of humour. I must say all the staff at my doctors and the local hospital plus the ancillary premises for X-rays, bone clinics etc are wonderful, very kind and caring. We are very fortunate here in our town.

My gosh you really have been through the wars. They say that one's positive attitude to life helps a lot after an operation and can improve the healing process. As they say it is all in the mind!!
