Meanwhile, Charlie had his tooth surgery and came home. I worried like a ninny of course. He was groggy last night but ate his kibbles and cuddled on the couch with me until I feel asleep there.
Tuesday I busied my day working on garden projects. I'm kind of a go ahead and do it person. I imagine how things will look and then go for it and change things on the fly.
The BS Pile
Moving stuff
trying to be smarter about that...
I planted 3 tomato plants and a few piles of flower seeds along with spices in a few slates of the pallets.
The one section of the pallets is going to have Birds/Bees/Butterfly attracting plants I can pick up at the garden center.
I told hubby that I was taking that rough section of the yard and going to chop it up with a potato fork and a spade to plant a packet of wildflower seeds and sunflowers. It may be a total flop, but then again, it might look neat.
Third day without the Forteo aka: The Teriparatide injection ~~ I feel like my normal crazy self. I have the normal aches and pains and felt well enough to work on my funky garden yesterday.
This morning? Almost NO leg/bone pain!
Apparently there could be alternatives still. One being an Estrogen type shot that is like a last resort?
For today, I'm going to enjoy the rain. I'll use the time to catch up on indoor projects.
Maybe after my VA Caregiver class, I'll take a nap!
The Bone Doctor's nurse called and she wants me to go back to the first medicine. 🤯
...or try another one which is an injection that lasts for 6 months.
Those suggestions just broke me. I went outside in the rain and just started to cry ðŸ˜.
Never do I want to go through the pain I have had off and on for the last few months as side effects of medicine.
😱
Huh. Whut? 6 months of possible agony? Once you get the shot, you cannot undo it. Right?
My questions will be this. Lower doses of any meds? Every other day or short rests between doses?
Or.
Since I have never had a fracture of any kind other than a little toe when I was 10 years old....
🤔🤷
Why not let me do the proper exercises and a great diet for the next several months and re-evaluate??? Rescan and see if I am losing more ground?
My understanding is these meds are indicated when fractures show up [or a terrible score for BMD in my case]. This bone crap didn't happen overnight and I have crashed into rocks, fallen on ice, and done a ton of things. Nobody had to put this Humpty Dumpty back together as of yet.
Yes, an ounce of prevention is a good thing. But?
