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 😁

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

I broke my left femur at the ischial protuberosity, the big part twice, once in my twenties and once in my forties. The first time they put metal in, and then took it out a year later. The second time I asked, 'Will you take this metal out?' The doctor looked at my chart, said, 'No, at your age we leave it in, like rebar.'

You can choose to be good or evil now, like the Terminator or Robocop.
