Women's Checkup Day

It was time for my semi-annual checkup in order to get my prescriptions refilled (that's certainly a way to get people in), so I scheduled it for this morning after I saw what we celebrate today. I knew after my bone density test that I have osteopenia, which is not really serious, just means you have a moderate risk for fractures. So I didn't think anything about it. But the doc said that it's not a big deal unless you have a fracture and so now that I have, he's starting me on Boniva. It's an easy fix... one pill once a month. I have heard about bad side effects, but I'll hope for the best and stop it if I have any problems. And then we'll figure out something else because no more broken bones here!
