So...... the story continues. Dexa scan yesterday shows (in the words of the radiographer) significant change. Both my hips and spine have changed and if the change continues I will have osteoporosis within 2 years. I suppose it is not surprising after 16 months of dialysis and taking arimadex but I had hoped that i would have a bit more time before facing this. I will now probably have to see the rheumatologist and may have to start taking bisphosphonates a drug which has to be taken 30 mins before food and standing up! (not good when you need to eat quickly in the morning or you are sick) I think though there will have to be some discussion with renal team as I am not sure that kidneys like bisphosphonates. Life is never simple with me!
On the plus side I managed 3 3/4 laps when I was swimming yesterday. Not quite the 4 I hoped for but better than the 1 I thought I would manage last week! Today I begin my journey into the world of pilates ( not pirates as spell check would like it to say) Not sure what my body will make of that.
Tomorrow Paul and I are off to the seaside for the day - decided yesterday in the sunshine before last nights rain! Hopefully the sun will shine just for a bit tomorrow. At the beginning of the year one of my hopes for this year was to swim in the sea. Not sure I will manage that tomorrow but we shall see! We still have our holiday in Cornwall to come ...... maybe we will have an indian summer.
This weekend - Chloe and Ed home, wedding dress shopping and an engagement party. My youngest boy is at Reading Festival (why am I not surprised it is raining). I hope you all have wonderful bank holiday plans.
