I want to let my friends here in Granny land know that I am OK. The doctor today was to tell me the results of my bone scan. I have weak bones (osteopenia) in my spine and "mild" osteoporosis in my left hip.
Osteoporosis causes bones to become weak and brittle — so brittle that a fall can cause a break. Osteoporosis-related breaks most commonly occur in the hip, wrist or spine. Bone is living tissue that is constantly being broken down and replaced. Osteoporosis occurs when the creation of new bone doesn't keep up with the loss of old bone. I will be taking medication for it and being careful not to fall.
