Hi everyone. Nice to be in touch again. Am still in great pain in lower back . Walking horrendous. Only place comfortable is in bed . But can't miss this lovely weather. It might be raining tomorrow. Steel pins inserted in both femurs now ok. (But curses on alendronic acid tabs for causing fractures in the first place!) Now have fractures in the spine. Seeing the orthopaedic surgeon on June 5 and the spinal specialist on June 7. Hoping for some help so I can get back to driving. I miss my car so much. It is not so much the actual driving that is the problem but what do I do when I get to where ever I am going? I can't push my wheel chair myself and my rolator still requires walking so back to square one! Sorry to go on . Happy days !
