~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

Dill, I get injections every 6 months with a drug called Prolia. I've been on it for a couple of years with zero side effects. My last bone scan showed improvement so I'm going to stick with it.

Cowboy, I can understand the confusion about circular needles. It's basically 2 needles connected with a thin plastic wire which allows you to have a lot more stitches than would fit on regular needles. I use them to make blankets which requires a long row of stitches. When I get to the end of a row I turn the blanket and start a new row. If I didn't do that and continued knitting then yes I would end up with a tube shaped project which wouldn't make a very good blanket.

Rava, your new phone takes awesome pictures. The alligator looks like it was right in front of which I'm sure it wasn't!

Ginger, I hope that you will be able to get in a workout on Monday but don't over do it. Did your Dr say it was ok to start exercising?

Waves to Mul!

Not today...

Time for some breakfast me thinks!

Thanks for the explanation Jude, that makes a bit more sense now. And it also helped that I Googled it lol.

I would think they'd want you to exercise the new knee Ginger, as long as you don't overdo it.

Don't think I've ever had my bone density checked dill but I do get lots of exercise as I can't just sit around all day,

Waves to Rava and Mulburry!

And speaking of exercise, I'll be getting more of that this morning shoveling snow lol.

Have a great day y'all!

ABC, you sure get a lot of winter exercise. Lol Be careful out there! Pancakes! My favorite

Jude, my Dr said for Medicare to approve the injections, first I had to try fosmax and have side effects. He did allude that I could just "say" I had side effects and he'd recommend the injections. Hmmmm Not sure how I feel about that.

Dill, I loved your post. It wasn't too long at all.

Exercise here is more like chair yoga, very chill. Its that overall stretching I'm looking for. The PA said I'm OK to go but save some energy for PT. Tomorrow, I get rid of the medical bike in the middle of my tiny living room. It was a godsend in the first few weeks but I'm able to ride our stationary bike now so I no longer need it. It will be nice to have that space open again! This has been quite a journey.

Rava, hope you're all settled in, gators and all. ;•) HI Mul

I'll take another day of freedom!

Greetings everyone!

Jude, thanks for telling me about your medication. I'll look into it and if my doc recommends a pharmaceutical, I'll have a bit more to go on. Of course I'm hoping she will recommend some lifestyle and nutritional changes as a first step. We shall see.

Ginger, you're making grand progress! Glad you can send off the medical bike and reclaim some open ground!

Rava I asked Mr. D what kind of phone he got recently and he said he got the exact same type as you and Mr. R got. He loves his. He showed me a feature on his that I will find very useful if I get the same version. It is a zoom feature in the camera. It's incredible!

Cowboy, I don't think bone density is as big an issue in general with men as it is with women. Thanks for that awesome breakfast! One of my favorites. I was wondering...I went out of our little bubble here yesterday to look and see what other threads are still around....I didn't see anyone apart from a greeting from Lavande at Christmas time and some folks that check in and post their #of days with you. So....are we all that are left here? It was kind of spooky out there.

Lavande, if you read here, sorry I didn't respond to your Holiday Greeting! I didn't see it until yesterday.

Not today.
