The Shame of it!

There's good news and bad today. Let's get the bad stuff out of the way first. I am ashamed to say that at tonight's Slimming World weigh in I had gained 2lbs. I hope to lose 3 lbs next week. In fact, hope isn't in it. In fact, watch out Heaven and Earth because you're about to be moved!

Now for the good stuff: fiddling about the other day I came across the Friends Reunited site and it has improved a lot from when I had my name enrolled a few years ago. And it's FREE. It didn't used to be. Anyway, I enrolled again just to see if any of my old school colleagues might get in touch. And sure enough, that same evening, I got a message from a girl I had been in touch with years ago on FR. Guess how she started her message? "Angie, where the HELL have you been......" - as though I had just popped out for a bottle of milk! It'll be lovely catching up. And yes, I did mean "girl". School = boys and girls, right? Not grandmas and grandpas, Just so we got that straight!

I had my two-yearly bone scan in Sheffield today and, thankfully, my bones are no less dense than they were 2 years ago. Mind you, as you can hardly see them on an x-ray it's hard to see how they can get much less dense! I can still look forward to fracturing even more as I get older including, possibly, spontaneous fractures. That was a new one on me but it seems that very un-dense bones can fracture, though rarely, without provocation, specially if you're treated with bisphosphonates (which I am). "So," said the doctor, "You can either stop the drug and run a little risk of losing bone density, or you can keep the drugs and run a little risk of spontaneous fracture." Decisions, decisions! Well me and my drugs are very happy together and we've got used to each other over the years so.......! Hey, what's a little risk!
