My world in a snapshot. I got an oil change and an infusion of Reclast today at Kaiser.

So what's going on, Bob? Why...I'm glad you asked!

It seems the 6 weeks of pelvic radiation four years ago did a number on my hips and femoral neck. I beat cancer but flunked my DEXA scan. This was predictable. My bones are now shit... and all the exercise in the world ain't gonna to solve the problem. So I did my research** and came to my own conclusions:

GIVE ME ALL THE PHARMACEUTICALS! STAT!

** Speaking of research, I had a good laugh last week when I came across a doctor on YouTube who said, and I quote, "your femur is the bone you would give your dog to chew on." My femoral neck, being spongy, is probably extra juicy šŸ˜

Anyway, this is going to be fun, once I get through the achy side effects.

@BobHorowitz Ow, that sounds awful. My hips have been at me the last few weeks. It's painful. You have my sympathies. :(

@donncha Ooof. I'm sorry to hear that.
I'm symptomless... And being cocky and fit, I expected I would ace the DEXA scan. But radiation is a gift that keeps on giving.
